Not published: do not cite (Arngr Gd 25IV)
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Frétt hefir ǫld, at flagðit sótti
frjóvan mann, en pínir annan,
yfrit stórum jarðar hári
á kǫstuðuz þau með lǫstum;
fjandinn vilti fýst með blindi,
fekk hann mót staðit síðr en ekki;
signaz skyldu seggir hygnir;
Selkolla lék þá til heljar.
