 Lyrics 
Pastime with good company
 I love and shall until I die
 Grugge so will but none deny
 So God be pleased so live will I
 For my pastaunce, hunt, sing and dance
 My heart is set
 To my comfort, all goodly sport,
 Who shall me let?
 
 Youth will have needs dallyaunce,
 of good or ill, some pastaunce,
 company me thinketh them best
 All thoughts and fantasies to digest.
 For idleness is chief mistress
 of vices all,
 Then who can say but pass the day
 is best of all.
 
 Company with honesty
 is virtue and vice to flee
 Company is good or ill
 but every man hath his free will
 The best I saw
 The worst eschew
 My mind shall be
 Virtue to use, vice to refuse,
 I shall use me.
