Anon Mey 45VII/8 — fór ‘went’

Leysti hun af sier langa festi;
lamdi þann, er prettinn framdi;
fjandi þoldi af fögru sprundi
fleinging bæði hart og leingi.
Kveljarinn bauð, í köldu hjóli
kæra guðs að pínuð væri;
ljúfa fekk hun endað æfi;
öndin fór þá guði til handa.

Hun leysti af sier langa festi; lamdi þann, er framdi prettinn; fjandi þoldi fleinging bæði hart og leingi af fögru sprundi. Kveljarinn bauð, að guðs kæra væri pínuð í köldu hjóli; hun fekk endað ljúfa æfi; öndin fór þá til handa guði.

She loosened from herself a long rope; she beat the one who performed the fraud; the devil endured whipping both hard and long by the fair woman. The tormentor ordered that God’s woman [HOLY WOMAN] be tortured on a cruel wheel; she ended her dear life; her soul then went into the hands of God.
