Sedhen bleff iag siwk aff pestilens sott – och inghen kunde råda mig ther till bott – Jag sorgde oc gräth ath iag hade giortt ille – och loffuade gerna mig bätra wille - Med thz tog dödhen meg liiffwit wtåff – myn ånde iag i gudz hendher opgaff - J Stocholm ändade iag mitt liiff

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

Then I fell ill with the plague - and no one could advise me to cure it - I grieved and wept that I had done wrong - and promised to do better - With that death took me away - and I commanded my spirit into God's hands - I ended my life in Stocholm
