text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable.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



Bragi heitir einn. Hann er ágætur að speki og mest að
málsnilld og orðfimi. Hann kann mest af skáldskap, og af
honum er bragur kallaður skáldskapur, og af hans nafni er sá
kallaður bragur karla eða kvenna er orðsnilld hefur framar en
aðrir, kona eða karlmaður. Kona hans er Iðunn. Hún varðveitir
í eski sínu epli þau er goðin skulu á bíta þá er þau eldast,
og verða þá allir ungir, og svo mun vera allt til
ragnarökkurs."



Þá mælti Gangleri: "Allmikið þykir mér goðin eiga undir gæslu
eða trúnaði Iðunnar."



Þá mælti Hár og hló við: "Nær lagði það ófæru einu sinni.
Kunna mun eg þar af að segja, en þú skalt nú fyrst heyra nöfn
ásanna fleiri.
