Pastime With Good Company Henry VIII

Pastime with good company
I love and shall until I die;
Grudge who will, 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 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
Thе worst eschew
My mind shall be:
Virtuе to use
Vice to refuse
Thus shall I use me
