SKVR textEnglish
Tietäjä kuin rupejaa sairasta kylvettämään, niin innoissaan sanoo että:
1Otan vastani omaniI take/receive what is mine
2Käteheni oikeahan,Into my right hand,
3Jolla saastat sammuttelen,With which I quench impurities,
4Pahat vaivat vaivuttelen.I subdue evil afflictions.
5Henki mull' on suussa suuri,The spirit in me is vast in the mouth,
6Mahti ponnetoin povessa,Might effortless in the breast,
7Vatsassa varat väkevät.In the belly, potent reserves.
8Käsken liian liikkumahan,I command excess to depart,
9Pahan vaivan vaappumahan j. n. e.The evil affliction to falter, etc.
