[3-4] svá að þú minniz mín … í ríki þínu ‘so that you are mindful of me [i.e. my human nature and human body] … in your kingdom’: An allusion to the dying words of the ‘good thief’ who was crucified beside Jesus: Dróttinn minʒ tu min þa þu kemꝛ i riki þitt ‘Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom’ (Hið Nya Testament 1540 [Sigurður Nordal 1933]; Luke XXIII.42), with the implication that the poet hopes to hear the same reassuring reply at his own death: Sannliga ſeige eg þier / i dag ſkalt þu vera med mier i paradis ‘Truly I say to you, today you shall be with me in paradise’ (Hið Nya Testament 1540 [Sigurður Nordal 1933]; Luke XXIII.43).
