Ív Sig 45II/8 — náði ‘achieved ’

Frák, at léti        líf sitt konungr,
þás saltara        sungit hafði.
Vildi ganga        gramr til skriptar,
en því þjóðkonungr        þeygi náði.

Frák, at konungr léti líf sitt, þás hafði sungit saltara. Gramr vildi ganga til skriptar, en þjóðkonungr náði þeygi því.

I heard that the king gave up his life when he had sung the psalter. The lord wished to be shriven, but the mighty king by no means achieved that.
