Wed to me
As thou to him.
BRÜNNHILDE [With fearful vehemence.
I? Gunther? 'Tis false.
[She sways and seems about to fall. Siegfried supports her.
Light fades from mine eyes. ..
[In Siegfried's arms, looking faintly up at him.
Siegfried … knows me not?
SIEGFRIED
Gunther, see, thy wife is swooning!
[Gunther comes to them.
Wake, Brünnhild', wake!
Here stands thy husband.
BRÜNNHILDE
[Perceives the ring on Siegfried's outstretched finger, and starts up with terrible vehemence.
Ha! The ring
Upon his hand!
He … Siegfried?
THE VASSALS
What's wrong?
HAGEN
[Coming among the vassals from behind.
Now pay good heed
To the woman's tale.
BRÜNNHILDE
[Mastering her terrible excitement, tries to control herself.
On thy hand there
I beheld a ring.
'Twas wrested from me
By this man here;
[Pointing to Gunther.
'Tis not thine.
How earnest thou by
The ring thou hast on?
SIEGFRIED
[Attentively regarding the ring on his finger.
'Twas not from him
I got the ring.
BRÜNNHILDE [To Gunther.
Thou who didst seize the ring
With which I wedded thee,
Declare to him thy right,
Make him yield up the pledge!
GUNTHER [In great perplexity.
The ring? No ring I gave him,
Though thou dost know it well.
BRÜNNHILDE
Where hast thou hid the ring
That thou didst capture from me?
[Gunther, greatly confused, does not answer.
BRÜNNHILDE [Breaking out furiously.
Ha! He it was
Who despoiled me of the ring—
Siegfried, the treacherous thief!
[All look expectantly at Siegfried, who seems to be lost in far-off thoughts as he contemplates the ring.
SIEGFRIED
No woman gave
The ring to me,
Nor did I wrest it
From a woman's grasp.
This ring, I know,
Was the booty won
As thou to him.
