The Song

Though Wastefulness and Wantoness,
Some men have us two named:
Yet Pleasantness and Pliantness,
Our names we have now framed.
For as I one is pleasant, to kiss and to cully,
The other is pliant as ever was holly.
As youth would it have,
So will we be brave.

To live in bliss, we will not miss,
What care we for mens sayings:
What joy is this, to sport and kiss,
But hurt comes in delayings.
The one is full ready to the others becking,
Between us there is neither chiding, nor checking.
As youth will it have etc.

Full brave and full fine, we pass the time,
Take time while time is biding:
What joy is thine, the same is mine,
My mind shall not be sliding.
Our goods are our own, why should we spare,
Or for time to come, why should we care.
As youth would it have etc.
