The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Framan unnu gram gunnar
gramnis eiðs tamir meiðar;
biðu Jótar lið ljótan
lagagangs daga strangra;
lofak sjaldan hóf haldit,
hatask dygð, ratask lygðir,
tregt, halda vegs valdar
veginn arf megindjarfir.
