Adam Lay Ybounden

Adam lay yboundenBounden in a bond;Foure thousand witer,Thought he not too long.

And all was for an apple,An apple that he tok,As clerkes findenWreten in here book.

Never had the apple,The apple taken ben,Ne hadde never our lady,A ben Hevene Quen.

Blessed be the timeThe apple taken wasTherefore we moun singenDeo gracias

Adam Had Fallen

Adam had fallenFallen deep into guilt;Four thousand winters,He regarded as not too long.

And all was for an apple,An apple that he took,That scholars findWritten in a book.

Had he never taken the apple,The apple not taken,Never would Our LadyHave been a Heavenly Queen.

Blessed be the time,The apple was takenSo that we may sing:Thanks to the Lord
