text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):

Biðja frá ek um elda eyði
eyjar-band at sínum vanda
greiði vells at flytja fríðum
fríð Þorláki helgar tíðir;
"eigi skal, kvað meina mýgir,
mýgir tála ólǫg drýgja,
siðu styrkir sjá m<ó>ðu merkir
markar grands, á váru landi.
