Hér vit skiljumz ok hittaz munum
á feginsdegi fira;
dróttinn minn gefi þeim dauðum ró
ok hinum líkn, er lifa.
Hér skiljumz vit ok munum hittaz á feginsdegi fira; dróttinn minn gefi þeim dauðum ró ok líkn hinum, er lifa.
Here we two part and we will meet on men’s day of joy; may my Lord give to the dead peace, and grace to those who live.
[5] dauðum: so papp15ˣ, 167b 6ˣ, 1441ˣ, 10575ˣ, 2797ˣ, ‘daudu’ 166bˣ, 738ˣ, 214ˣ
[5] gefi þeim dauðum ró ‘give the dead peace’: Paasche (1914a, 162) suggests this is a quotation from the Requiem Mass, requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine! ‘Lord, give them eternal rest!’. The Day of Judgement is evoked, and a final prayer pronounced for the living and the dead.
