This site prints a normalised text side by side with Benjamin
Thorpe's translation.

http://www.normanniireiks.org/guilds_lore/lore/poetic/index.htm

Eysteinn's site [ http://www.hi.is/~eybjorn/ugm/ ] has parallel
texts of the different variants of Völuspá. Also Svipdagsmál
(Gróagaldr, Fjölsvinnsmál) in modern spelling with parallel English
translation; Hymiskviða with parallel variants + normalised text
with Old Icelandic spelling + parallel English translation and
notes/commentary; the mysterious Hrafnagaldr Óðins (also called
Forspjallsljóð) with parallel English.

Here's a parsed text of part of Vafþrúðnismál [
http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/lrc/iedocctr/ie-texts/text-
on.html ].

Hávamál with translation and commentary [
http://www.hi.is/~peturk/3T/bjolfskvida.html ].

Haukur's site has the text of Gunnarsslagr, a late poem (18th
century) in the Eddic style with Benjamin Thorpe's translation.

You'll find lots more by typing quotes from it into Google!

By the way, Tim, nothing to do with your original question, but have
you seen this Modern Icelandic translation of Beowulf [
http://www.hi.is/~peturk/3T/bjolfskvida.html ]?
