The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Vissak Hrafn, en Hrafni
hvǫss kom egg í leggi,
hjaltugguðum hǫggva
hrynfiski mik brynju,
þás hræskári hlýra
hlaut fen vaða benja;
klauf gunnsproti Gunnar
Gunnlaugs hǫfuð runna.

Uissa ek hrafn en hrafní | huass kom egg í leggí · hiallt uggudum hauggua · hrynfiski mik bryníu | þa er hreskíærri hlyra · hlaut fen arí benía · klauf gunnspíoti gunnar | gunnlaugs hofud nunna ·
