text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable.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

Styrr lét snart ok Snorri
sverðþing háit verða,
þars geirviðir gerðu
Gíslungum hlut þungan;
enn varð eigi in minna
ættskarð, þats hjó Barði,
(fell geysla lið) Gísla
(gunnnórunga sunnan).
