The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Satt hǫfum spurt, at sýndi drottin
sætust laun fyr starfa mætan
Guðmundi, þar er góðir andar
gagnauðigstri sælu fagna;
leidd var ein ór líkam sínum
langminnigrar sála kvinnu,
hann mærðu þeir heiðurs orðum
helgir menn, sem fylgdu henni.
