1.

Pastime with good company
I love and shall until I die
grudge who lust but none deny
so God be pleased thus live will I
for my pastance
hunt sing and dance
my heart is set
all goodly sport
for my comfort
who shall me let

2.

youth must have some dalliance
of good or ill some pastance
Company methinks then best
all thoughts and fancies to digest.
for Idleness
is chief mistress
of vices all
then who can say.
but mirth and play
is best of all.

3.

Company with honesty
is virtue vices to flee.
Company is good and ill
but every man has his free will.
the best ensue
the worst eschew
my mind shall be.
virtue to use
vice to refuse
thus shall I use me.
