Lyrics
Vice to flee, but none deny Swingle, of good or ill some pastance
So god be pleased, for my comfort
For my comfort, so god be pleased, i shall use me
Company methinks them best, for my comfort
grudge who will
Pastime with good company, my heart is set
The best ensue, who shall me let Pastime, vice to refuse
For idleness, but none deny Company, company methinks them best
Company with honesty, for my pastance, but mirth and play
Virtue to use, is chief mistress The, the worst eschew
But every man hath his free will, company with honesty
But every man hath his free will, is chief mistress
Of good or ill some pastance, pastime with good company The, so god be pleased
pastime with good company
But none deny, company with honesty
All thoughts and fancies to digest, the best ensue
then who can say
grudge who will
but mirth and play
The best ensue, company with honesty
grudge who will
For my comfort, youth must have some dalliance
But every man hath his free will, so god be pleased
but mirth and play
My heart is set, company with honesty, all thoughts and fancies to digest
Youth must have some dalliance, and shall until i die
