Te nunc, sancte speculator, uerbi Dei digne dator, Hæddi, pie praesul, precor pontificum ditum decor: pro me tuo peregrino preces funde Theodoro. [‘You, now, holy bishop, / worthy giver of the Word of God, / Hæddi, holy prelate, I beseech you, / the glory of powerful pontiffs: / for me, your foreign visitor, / pour out prayers for Theodore.’ Lapidge 1995: 275]
