"Hafve Ki?lighed l?kelagt
Dend ut?mede Mackt?

Han glemmer det han legger d?t
Ingen Minder stiiger fra Graven brat
Ingen Anger gliider giennen Si?ens Nat

Med Ydmygheden Taarer smigred hun
Dend Guddom som hun hadede medens hun frycktede

Hendes V?en, lig et Lam
Gik ham ey forbi
For hun hafde r?t ved ham
?fved sin Magi"
