Robin williamson pastime with good company lyrics

pastime with good company 



i love and shall untill i die 



grudge who will let none deny 



so god be pleased this life will i 



for my pastance* hunt sing and dance 



my heart is set 



all goodly sport for my comfort 



who shall me let 







youth will needs have dalliance 



of good or ill some pastance 



company my thinketh best 



all thoughts and fancies 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 has his free will 



the best i sue the worst eschew 



my mind shall be 



virtue to use vice to refuse 



i shall use me
