Against Evil Company

1 Why should I join with those in Play,
2 In whom I've no delight,
3 Who curse and swear, but never pray,
4 Who call ill Names, and fight.

5 I hate to hear a wanton Song,
6 Their Words offend my Ears:
7 I should not dare defile my Tongue
8 With Language such as theirs.

9 Away from Fools I'll turn my Eyes,
10 Nor with the Scoffers go;
11 I would be walking with the Wise,
12 That wiser I may grow.

13 From one rude Boy that's us'd to mock
14 Ten learn the wicked Jest;
15 One sickly Sheep infects the Flock,
16 And poysons all the rest.
