Past time with good company
   I love and shall until I die
   Grutch 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?
  
   Youth must have some dalliance
   Of good or ill some pastance
   Company methinks then best
   All throughts and funcies to digest
   For idleness is chief mistress
   Of vices all: than who can say
   But mirth and play
   Is best of all?
  
   Past time with good company
   I love, and shall until I die
   Grutch 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?
  
   Company with honesty
   Is virtue, vices to flee;
   Company is good and ill
   But any man have his free will
   The best ensue
   The worst eschew:
   My mind shall be
   Virtue to use
   Vice to refuse
   Thus shall I use me...
