71. I saw those men who with much fasting had their bodies wasted: God's angels bowed before them: that is the highest joy.
72. I saw those men who had put food into their mothers' mouth: their couches were on the rays of heaven pleasantly placed.
73. Holy virgins had cleanly washed the souls from sin of tfibse men, who for a long time had themselves tormented.
74. Lofty cars I saw towards heaven going; they were on the way to God: men guided them who had been murdered wholly without crime.
75. Almighty Father! greatest Son! holy Spirit of heaven! Thee I pray, who hast us all created; free us all from miseries.

71. Menn sá ek þá, er mjök höfðu hungri farit hörund; englar guðs
lutu öllum þeim; þat er æðsta unað.
72. Menn sá ek þá, er móður höfðu látit mat í munn; hvílur þeira
váru á himingeislum hafðar hagliga.
73. Helgar meyjar höfðu hreinliga sál af syndum þvegit manna þeira,
er á mörgum degi pína sjálfa sik.
74. Hávar reiðir sá ek með himnum fara, þær eiga götur til guðs; menn þeim stýra,
er myrðir eru alls fyrir engar sakir.
75. Inn máttki faðir! Inn mæzti sonr! Heilagr andi himins!
Þik bið ek skilja, er skapat hefr, oss alla eymðum frá.
