Anon Mgr 21VII/4 — slíkt ‘such things’

‘Þegnar gjörðu þraungva og harða
þyrnis korónu stilli hlýrna;
buðu honum þá með blygð og háði
bannaðir Júðar slíkt og annað.
Hjarta mitt, er eg horfða á þetta,
hræraz tók, því son minn kæri
dýrligr virði miklu meira
mína eymd en píslir sínar.’

‘Þegnar gjörðu stilli hlýrna þraungva og harða korónu þyrnis; bannaðir Júðar buðu honum þá og annað slíkt með blygð og háði. Hjarta mitt tók hræraz, er eg horfða á þetta, því kæri son minn, dýrligr, virði eymd mína miklu meira en píslir sínar.’

‘Men made a tight and hard crown of thorns for the prince of the sun and moon [= God (= Christ)]; the cursed Jews offered him that and other such things with shame and scorn. My heart began to tremble as I looked at this, because my dear son, the precious one, heeded my anguish much more than his own torments.’
