[British Library Additional Ms. 31922, ff.14v-15]

Pastime with good company
I love and shall unto I die;
Grudge who list, but none deny,
So God be pleased thus live will I.
     For my pastance
     Hunt, song, and dance.
           My heart is set:
     All goodly sport
     For my comfort,
           Who shall me let?

Youth must have some dalliance,
Of good or illé some pastance;
Company methinks then best
All thoughts and fancies to dejest:
     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,
           Shall I use me.
