Not published: do not cite (Árni Gd 4IV)
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Mildingur sér mána foldar
manna verk sem gjǫrvalt annat,
greinir hann því glǫgt hvat þjónar
gumna hverr í Péturs knerri,
stundum þarf til stjórnar senda
sterka menn í bylgjum þrennum,
hindrar eigi heimr ok fjandi
hold veikast í freistni kveikja.
