PASTIME WITH GOOD COMPANY |
|||
 |
|||
|
Youth will needs have dalliance, Of good or ill some pastance ; Company me thinketh the best All thoughts& 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 sue,
The worst eschew: My mind shall be
Virtue to use,
Vice to refuse, I shall use me. |
