The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Øngr var sólar slǫngvir
sandheims á Íslandi
(hróðr er) af heiðnum lýðum
(hægr) Gunnari frægri;
Njǫrðr nam hjálma hríðar
hlífrunna tvá lífi,
sár gaf stála stýrir
stórum tólf ok fjórum.
