Not published: do not cite (Arngr Gd 45IV)
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Cedrús fekk, svá at endaz ekki,
allar fjórar dygðir stórar,
eina þá, sem ei má fúna,
ilman helz þótt viðrinn eldiz;
feitin drepr með magni mætu
maðka þá er í sárum spraðka;
ormar flýja eitri fermdir
(eflaust er þat) sætleik traustan.
