Anon Mgr 29VII/2 —  ‘about’

‘Heyri þjóð,’ kvað heilug Máría,
‘hvessu eg gáða orðum þessum;
mier var æ því harmrinn hæri;
herra míns tók líf að þverra.
Læriföðurinn lagði á síðu
Longínus fyrir augum mínum;
næsta bar eg svá nóga í brjósti
nauð, að mier var búið við dauða.

‘Heyri þjóð,’ kvað heilug Máría, ‘hvessu eg gáða þessum orðum; mier var harmrinn æ því hæri; líf herra míns tók að þverra. Longínus lagði læriföðurinn á síðu fyrir augum mínum; næsta bar eg svá nóga nauð í brjósti, að mier var búið við dauða.

‘May people hear,’ said holy Mary, ‘how I cared about these words; to me the grief was ever the greater; the life of my Lord began to wane. Longinus pierced the teacher in the side before my eyes; next I bore such abundant anguish in my breast that I was prepared for death.
