    In Flanders once there was a company  Of youngsters haunting vice and ribaldry‚  Riot and gambling‚ stews and public-houses  Where each with harp‚ guitar‚ or lute carouses‚  Dancing and dicing day and night‚ and bold  To eat and drink far more than they can hold‚  Doing thereby the devil sacrifice  Within that devil’s temple of cursed vice‚  Abominable in superfluity‚  With oaths so damnable in blasphemy  That it’s a grisly thing to hear them swear.  Our dear Lord’s body they will rend
