text and translation
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Hjoggum vér með hjǫrvi.
Hví sé drengr at feigri,
at hann í odda éli
ǫndurðr látinn verði?;
opt sýtir sá ævi,
es aldrigi nistir
(ilt kveða argan eggja)
ǫrn at sverða leiki;
hugblauðum kømr hvergi
hjarta sitt at gagni.
