Break we the bread once more | B |
The cup we pass around | A |
No rather let us pour | B |
This wine upon the ground | A |

And on the salver lay | C |
The bread there to remain | D |
Perhaps some other day | C |
Shrovetide will come again | E |

Blurred is the rubric now | F |
And shadowy the token | G |
When blood is on the brow | F |
And the frail body broken | G |
