The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Eigi týndi vænstum vanda
váttur guðs í fǫgrum háttum,
heldr þróaðiz honum með valdi
hamingja sterk til krapta-verka;
setti hann, at siðirnir bættiz,
sannan rétt miðil guðs ok manna,
áður gekk yfir bjarta brúði
berr ósómi andlangs herra.
