Adam Lay Ybounden (鲍里斯：亚当被束缚)

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 clerkès 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!
