Well know I Siegfried's
Conquering strength:
How hard in battle to slay him;
But whisper to me
Some sure device
For speeding him to his doom.
BRÜNNHILDE
Ungrateful, shameful return!
I taught him all
The arts I know,
To preserve his body from harm.
"O wife betrayed,
I will avenge
Thy trust deceived"
See p. 154.
He bears unwitting
A charmèd life
And safely walks by spells enwound.
