Past Time With Good Company is geschreven door de Engelse koning Henry VIII in de 16de eeuw. Het lied heeft ook wel als titel The King's Ballad.
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 funcies to digest For idleness is chief mistress Of vices all... than 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 any 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
