-<poem>
-Adam lay ybounden,
-Bounden in a bond:
-Four thousand winter
-Thought he not too long.
-And all was for an apple,
-An apple that he took,
-As clerkè finden
-Written in their book.
-Ne had the apple taken been,
-The apple taken been,
-Ne had never our lady
-Abeen heavenè queen.
-Blessèd be the time
-That apple taken was,
-Therefore we moun singen,
-''Deo gracias!''
