Anon Mey 36VII/7 — mektug ‘powerful’

Lesandi oft með fagnað fúsan
fúsir menn, er treysta henni,
hennar sögu, þá er krankar kvinnur
kvennligt stríð í sóttum bíða.
Margaréta brúðum bætir
bætta hjálp með sínum mætti;
vaktar þessi meyjan mektug
mektargjörð á himni og jörðu.

Fúsir menn, er treysta henni, lesandi oft hennar sögu með fúsan fagnað, þá er krankar kvinnur bíða kvennligt stríð í sóttum. Margaréta bætir brúðum bætta hjálp með sínum mætti; mektug, þessi meyjan vaktar mektargjörð á himni og jörðu.

Keen men, who believe in her, often read her story with keen joy, when sick women suffer female affliction in illnesses. Margaret makes good help to women better with her might; powerful, this maiden keeps watch over the action of power in heaven and earth.
