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.
