HAGEN
In betraying thee.
GUNTHER
Was I betrayed?
BRÜNNHILDE
He betrayed thee,
And me ye all are betraying!
If I were just,
All the blood of the world
Would not atone for your guilt!
But the death of one
Is all I ask for.
Dying, Siegfried
Atones for himself and you!
HAGEN
[Turning to Gunther and speaking to him secretly.
His death would profit thee;
Boundless were indeed thy might
If thou couldst capture the ring,
Which, alive, he never will yield.
GUNTHER [Softly.
Brünnhilde's ring?
HAGEN
The ring the Niblung wrought.
GUNTHER [Sighing deeply.
'Twould be the end of Siegfried.
HAGEN
His death would serve us all.
GUNTHER
But Gutrun', to whom
He has been given!
How could we look in her face
If her husband we had slain?
BRÜNNHILDE [Starting up furiously.
What wisdom forewarned of,
And runes hinted darkly,
In helpless despair
Is plain to me now.
[Passionately.
Gutrune is the spell
That stole my husband's heart away!
Woe be her lot!
HAGEN [To Gunther.
If this grief we must give her,
Conceal how Siegfried died.
We go to-morrow
Merrily hunting;
The hero gallops ahead;
We find him slain by a boar.
BRÜNNHILDE and HAGEN
So shall it be!
Perish Siegfried!
Purged be the shame
He brought on me!
Faith sworn by oath
He has broken;
Now with his blood
Let him atone!
Avenging,
All-hearing God!
Oath-witness,
And lord of vows!
Wotan, come at my call!
Send thou thine awful
Heavenly host
Hither to hear
While I vow revenge!
HAGEN
Doomed let him die,
The hero renowned!
Mine is the hoard,
And mine I shall hold it!
From him the ring
Shall be wrested!
In betraying thee.
