[Good company is of so great vertue]

Good company is of so great vertue,
It causeth sinners to become gracious,
VVhen they endeuour them selues to rescew,
From their folly and faultes defamous,
And eke euill company is so contagious,
That it corrupteth good inclination,
It is so vigorus, violent, and venemous,
It puts euen princes to great perdicion.
