SONG
XXI
.
Against
Evil
Company
.
I.
WHY
should
I
join
with
those
in
Play
,
In
whom
I've
no
Delight
;
Who
curse
and
swear
,
but
never
pray
;
Who
call
ill
Names
and
fight
?
II
.
I
hate
to
hear
a
wanton
Song
;
Their
Words
offend
mine
Ears
;
I
should
not
dare
defile
my
Tongue
With
Language
such
as
theirs
.
III
.
Away
from
Fools
I'll
turn
mine
Eyes
;
Nor
with
the
Scoffers
go
;
I
would
be
walking
with
the
Wise
,
That
wiser
I
may
grow
.
IV
.
From
one
rude
Boy
that's
us'd
to
mock
,
They
learn
the
wicked
Jest
:
One
sickly
Sheep
infects
the
Flock
,
And
poisons
all
the
rest
.
V.
My
God
,
I
hate
to
walk
,
or
dwell
With
sinful
Children
here
;
Then
let
me
not
be
sent
to
Hell
,
Where
none
but
Sinners
are
.
