A kórusmű utolsónak tervezett darabja, ismeretlen angol költő "Deo Gracias" című versére
Deo gracias! [Thanks be to God!]
Adam lay i-bounden,
bounden in a bond
Four thousand winter
thought he not to long.
Deo gracias!
And all was for an appil,
an appil that he tok,
As clerkes finden
written in their book.
Deo gracias!
Ne had the appil take ben,
The appil take ben,
Ne hadde never our lady
a ben hevene quene.
Blessed be the time
That appil take was.
Therefore we moun singen
Deo gracias!
