text and translation
Síðan lá sveinn dauðr;
sætan af trega grætr
leingi, meðan lá ungr
líkami á börum slíkr.
Auðar þellan óglöð
annan dag flytr hann,
þar er kirkju mikið mark
Máríu í borg stár.
Síðan lá sveinn dauðr; sætan grætr af trega leingi, meðan slíkr ungr líkami lá á börum. {Óglöð þellan auðar} flytr hann annan dag, þar er mikið mark kirkju Máríu stár í borg.
‘Then the boy lay dead; the lady weeps with sorrow for a long time while such a young body lay on the bier. The unhappy fir of wealth [WOMAN] moves him the next day to where the mighty sign of the Church of Mary stands in the city.’
notes and context
For prose parallels to this st., see Schottmann (1973, 380).
