The Merry Wives Of Windsor - Pastime With Goode Company
I love and shall until I die
Grudge who lust 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 has his free will
The best, I sue
The worst, eschew
My mind shall be
Virtue to use
Vice to refuse
Thus shall I use me
Pastime with good company
I love and shall until I die
