text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable.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

Var nú svo; og er þeir komu í garðinn, þá ganga þeir tveir í loft nokkurt lítið og ræða um þetta mál. Segir Arinbjörn svo: ‘Allreiður var konungur nú, en heldur þótti mér mýkjast skaplyndi hans nokkuð, áður létti, og mun nú hamingja skipta, hvað upp kemur; veit eg, að Gunnhildur mun allan hug á leggja að spilla þínu máli. Nú vil eg það ráð gefa, að þú vakir í nótt og yrkir lofkvæði um Eirík konung; þætti mér þá vel, ef það yrði drápa tvítug og mættir þú kveða á morgun, er við komum fyrir konung. Svo gerði Bragi, frændi minn, þá er hann varð fyrir reiði Bjarnar Svíakonungs, að hann orti drápu tvítuga um hann eina nótt og þá þar fyrir höfuð sitt; nú mætti vera, að vér bærum gæfu til við konung, svo að þér kæmi það í frið við konung.’
