Isaac Watts - Against Evil CompanyIsaac Watts - Against Evil Company
Work rating: Medium


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. I hate to hear a wanton Song,  Their Words offend my Ears: I should not dare defile my Tongue  With Language such as theirs. Away from Fools I`ll turn my Eyes,  Nor with the Scoffers go; I would be walking with the Wise,  That wiser I may grow. From one rude Boy that`s us`d to mock  Ten learn the wicked Jest; One sickly Sheep infects the Flock,  And poysons all the rest.
