Adam Lay Ibounden

Adam lay inbounden
Bounden in a bond
Foure thousand winter
Thought he not too long

And all was for an apple
And apple that he tok
As clerkes findin
Wreten in here a book

Ne hadde the apple taken ben
The apple taken ben
Ne hadde never our lady
A ben hevene queen

Blissed be the time
That apple take was
Therefore we moun singen
'Deo Gracias!'
