Adam lay ybounden Bounden in a bond Four thousand winters; Though he not too long; And all was for an apple; An apple that he took; As clerkes finden written in their book; Nay had the apple taken been; The apple taken been; Nay had never our lady; Abeen heavenly queen; Blessed be the time; That apple taken was; Therefore we bound singen; Deo gracias!
