| Come Lollard, raise your lute and sing |
| Unto my ears a beauty bring |
| Like Maddox in the days of old |
| We'll feast and drink until we fold |
| And folding still we'll spare a thought |
| For what's been lost and what's been caught |
| And maybe then begin again |
| For love is life, not poison |
| | repeat to fade (borns enter 3rd time |
