Past Tyme with Good Company
King Henry VIII

Pastime with good company,
I love, and shall until I die.
Grudge who likes, 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 them 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, vice to flee.
Company is good and ill,
But every man has his free will.
The best ensue,
The worst eschew,
My mind shall be:
Virtue to use,
Vice to refuse,
Thus shall I use me!

This is a great! I'm glad to know that a singing group called "Leafy Greens and Mutton" exists. Makes me hungry, that's for sure. Keep on singing you all!!

This group is not a professional group, but a group of amateurs who enjoy singing medieval and Renaissance music together. Of the group, there are only half can read music, and most had never sung a part other than melody prior to joining. We respect the poster's right to dislike, but to curse it publicly certainly displays a decidedly inharmonious character.

Precisely, this song is said to have been written by Henry VIII, not the VIIth one.

Kostüme können nicht über fehlendes Können hinwegtäuschen. Absoluter Schrott!
