Anon Mey 16VII/2 — sinn

Tuttugu vetr og sautján setti
sinn líkama þessi kvinna
eyðimerkur nökt í nauðir;
nauðin sjá var líkust dauða.
Mildur guð fyr mjúka iðran
Máríam tók úr glæpum sárum;
skínn hun nú sem einhver önnur
jungfrú hrein í lifandi greinum.

Tuttugu vetr og sautján setti þessi kvinna nökt sinn líkama í nauðir eyðimerkur; sjá nauðin var líkust dauða. Mildur guð tók Máríam úr sárum glæpum fyr mjúka iðran; hun skínn nú sem einhver önnur hrein jungfrú í lifandi greinum.

For thirty-seven years [lit. for twenty winters and seventeen] this woman lived [lit. placed her body] naked in the trials of the desert; that trial was most similar to death. Merciful God removed Mary from her painful sins because of her humble repentence; she now shines like every other pure maiden in life [lit. in the divisions of life].
