The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable.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

Swa mec gelome | laðgeteonan
þreatedon þearle. | Ic him þenode

Næs hie ðære fylle | gefean hæfdon,

Hwæþere me gesælde | þæt ic mid sweorde ofsloh
niceras nigene. | No ic on niht gefrægn
under heofones hwealf | heardran feohtan,
ne on egstreamum | earmran mannon;
hwaþere ic fara feng | feore gedigde,
siþes werig. | ða mec sæ oþbær,

Secge ic þe to soðe, | sunu Ecglafes,

sefa swa searogrim, | swa þu self talast.
Ac he hafað onfunden | þæt he þa fæhðe ne þearf,
atole ecgþræce | eower leode

þa wæs on salum | sinces brytta,

ond þa gyddode | guþe gefysed;
Beowulf maþelode, | bearn Ecgþeowes:
"Ic þæt hogode, | þa ic on holm gestah,
sæbat gesæt | mid minra secga gedriht,
þæt ic anunga | eowra leoda

siððan hie sunnan leoht | geseon ne meahton,

Gegrette þa | guma oþerne,

"Næfre ic ænegum men | ær alyfde,
siþðan ic hond ond rond | hebban mihte,

Hafa nu ond geheald | husa selest,

waca wið wraþum. | Ne bið þe wilna gad,
gif þu þæt ellenweorc | aldre gedigest."
