text and translation
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Hjalti fór utan um sumarit ok Gizurr hvíti. En skip Þangbrands braut austr við Búlandsnes, ok hét skipit Vísundr. Þangbrandur fór allt vestr um sveitir. Steinunn kom í mót honum, móðir Skáld-Refs. hon boðaði Þangbrandi heiðni ok talði lengi fyrir honum. Þangbrandur þagði meðan hon talaði, en talaði lengi eptir ok sneri því ǫllu, er hon hafði mælt, i villu.
"Hefir þú heyrt þat," sagði hon, "er Þórr bauð Kristi á hólm, ok treystisk hann eigi at berjask við Þór?" "Heyrt hefi ek þat," segir Þangbrandr, "at Þórr væri ekki nema mold ok aska, þegar guð vildi eigi, at hann lifði."
"Veistú," segir hon, "hverr brotit hefir skip þitt?" "Hvat segir þú til?" segir hann. "Þat mun ek segja þér," segir hon:
Braut fyrir bjǫllu gæti,
bǫnd ráku Val strandar,
mǫgfellandi mellu,
mástalls, Vísund allan;
hlífðit Kristr, þá er kneyfði
knǫrr, málmfeta varra;
lítt ætla ek, at guð gætti
Gylfa hreins at einu.
Aðra vísu kvað hon:
Þórr brá Þvinnils dýri
Þangbrands ór stað lǫngu,
hristi búss ok beysti
barðs ok laust við jǫrðu.
Muna skíð um sjá síðan
sundfœrt Atals grundar,
hregg því at hart tók leggja,
hánum kennt, í spánu.
