W:Adam lay ybounden, bounden in a bond;
W:Four thousand winter, thought he not too long.
W:And all was for an apple, an apple that he took,
W:As clerkès finden written in their book.
W:
W:Ne had the apple taken been,the apple taken been,
W:Ne had never Our Lady a been heavenly queen.
W:Blessed be the time that apple taken was.
W:Therefore we moun singen Deo gratias!
