[Burst into ringing laughter.
Good luck and joy
Laugh on the Rhine,
If Hagen, the grim one,
So merrily jests!
To wedding-feasts
Hagen invites;
His prick the hedge-thorn,
Hagen, has lost!
HAGEN
[Who has remained very grave, has come down to the men, and now stands among them.
Now cease from laughing,
Doughty vassals!
Receive Gunther's bride;
Yonder come Brünnhild' and he.
[He points towards the Rhine. Some of the men hurry to the height; others range themselves on the shore to watch the arrival. Hagen goes up to some of the men.
Be to your lady
Loyal and true;
Suffers she wrong,
Swiftly avenge her!
[He turns slowly aside and moves towards the back. The boat arrives with Gunther and Brünnhilde. Those who have been looking out from the height come down to the shore. Some vassals spring into the water and pull the boat to land. All press closer to the bank.
THE VASSALS
Hail! Hail! Hail!
Be greeted! Be greeted!
Welcome, O Gunther!
Hail! Hail! Hail!
[Gunther steps out of the boat with Brünnhilde.
THE VASSALS
[Range themselves respectfully to receive them.
Welcome, Gunther!
Health to thee and to thy bride!
[They strike their weapons loudly together.
GUNTHER
[Presenting Brünnhilde, who follows him with pale face and lowered eyes, to the men.
Brünnhild', a peerless bride,
Here to the Rhine I bring.
No man ever won
A nobler woman!
The Gods have shown from of old
Grace to the Gibichung stock.
To fame unmatched
Now may it mount!
THE VASSALS [Solemnly clash their weapons.
Hail! O hail, happy Gibichung!
GUNTHER
[Leads Brünnhilde, who never raises her eyes, to the hall, from which Siegfried and Gutrune, attended by women, now come forth. Gunther stops before the hall.
Dear hero, greetings glad!
I greet thee, fair sister!
By him who won thee for wife
I joyfully see thee stand.
Two happy pairs
Here radiant are shining:
[He draws Brünnhilde forward.
Brünnhild'—and Gunther,
Gutrun'—and Siegfried.
[Brünnhilde, startled, looks up and sees Siegfried. Her eyes remain fixed on him in amazement. Gunther, who has released her violently trembling hand, shows, as do all present, blank astonishment at her behaviour.
THE VASSALS and WOMEN
What ails her?
Has she gone mad?
SIEGFRIED
[Goes a few steps towards Brünnhilde, who has begun to tremble.
Why looks Brünnhild' amazed?
BRÜNNHILDE [Scarcely able to control herself.
Siegfried … here? Gutrune....
SIEGFRIED
Gunther's gentle sister,
