Into the chantry by: there, before him,
And underneath that consecrated roof,
Plight me the full assurance of your faith

Now go with me and with this holy man
Into the chantry by: there, before him,
And underneath that consecrated roof,
Plight me the full assurance of your faith

O thou dissembling cub!
