Under A Violet Moon

Past time with good company 
I love, and shall until I die 
Grutch 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? 


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 
Thus shall I use me... 


Past time with good company 
I love, and shall until I die 
Grutch 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? 


Past time with good company 
I love, and shall until I die 
Grutch 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? 


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 
Thus shall I use me...
