Ítr hafði einn hlut
jafnan fyrir guðs nafn,
Máríu, sem vitum vier,
vaktað, ef frá er sagt.
Hann las í hvert sinn
hæstar tíðir guði næst
mjúkri við mein slík
móður, þegar hann upp stóð.

Ítr hafði jafnan vaktað einn hlut fyrir nafn guðs, Máríu, sem vier vitum, ef er frá sagt. Við slík mein las hann hæstar tíðir næst guði mjúkri móður í hvert sinn, þegar hann stóð upp.

The excellent one had always observed one thing because of the name of God, Mary, as we know, which is told. Against such transgressions he recited the highest hours next to God to the gentle mother every time as soon as he got up.
