And Brünnhild' no other can win?
HAGEN
To no other will the flames yield.
GUNTHER [Rises angrily from his seat.
Why wake dissension and doubt?
Why stir up my desire
And yearning for joys

HAGEN
[Without leaving his seat causes Gunther to pull up as he approaches him, by a gesture of mysterious import.
Would not Brünnhilde
Be thy bride,
Were she by Siegfried brought home?
GUNTHER
