Gruch 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 is 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? Company with honesty Is virtue, vices to flee; Company is good and ill, But every man hath his free will. The best ensue, The worst eschew, My mind shall be; Virtue to use, Vice to refuse, Thus shall I use me.
