Poems and Songs

Pastime With Good Company

Whereto should I express

Whoso that will all feats obtain

Whoso that will for grace sue

Green Groweth the Holly

Though That Men Do Call It Dotage

Though some Saith that Youth Ruleth Me

If Love Now Reigned, As It Hath Been

Lusty Youth Should Us Ensue

The Time of Youth is to be Spent

Alas, what shall I do for love?

Oh, my heart!

Alack, alack, what shall I do?

Departure is my chief pain

Without discord

For example, bear baiting, bull baiting, dog fighting, cockerel fighting, hunting with dogs and hawks, watching jousts, theatre, card games, dice, board games such as chess, dancing (Henry VIII and Elizabeth I loved dancing, and both danced well), music (again something Henry VIII and Elizabeth I excelled at).
