Anon Mgr 23VII/3 —  ‘of’

‘* Krisnum á sig lýð til lausnar
lofðung hauðrs tók písl og dauða
sólar; tók sínum vilja
syndalauss með fullu yndi.
Ætti guði að þakka þetta
þjóðin öll,’ kvað dróttins móðir,
‘lærðir menn til lofs og dýrðar
laungum prýð*i honum ýmsa saungva.’

‘Lofðung hauðrs sólar tók á sig písl og dauða til lausnar * krisnum lýð; syndalauss tók vilja sínum með fullu yndi. Öll þjóðin ætti að þakka guði þetta’, kvað móðir dróttins, ‘lærðir menn prýð*i laungum ýmsa saungva til lofs og dýrðar honum.’

‘The lord of the land of the sun [SKY/HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)] took upon himself torture and death for the salvation of Christian people; sinless, he accepted it of his own will with full pleasure. All people ought to thank God for this’, said the mother of the Lord [= Mary], ‘may learned men for a long time ornament various songs to his praise and glory.’
