Máríu, sem vón var,
verkin bætti sjá klerkr.
Þaðan af gjörði hugrakkr þerfiliga þakkir við guð sinn, meðan líf {lunds linna} endiz. Og af mönnum ann sjá maðr Máríu mest fyrir dugnað, sem var vón; sjá klerkr bætti verkin.
‘From then on the brave-minded one humbly gave thanks to his God while the life of the tree of snakes [MAN] lasted. And of all men this man loves Mary the most for her help, as was expected; this cleric mended his ways.’
