“ Woltostu nit sogen me, so tete dir dú milch vil we, wan werlich ich han gesehen dine brúste so vol, das siben stralen gussen alzemale us von einer brúste úber minen lip und úber min sele.
If you [St. Mary] didn’t want to nurse, so your milk would cause you pain; for I have seen your breasts so full, that from your breast seven beams of light flooded over my body and my soul.
