SIEGFRIED [Laughs.
Liest thou by the spring,
Unchecked thither the brute shall go;
He shall swallow thee
Down with the water,
Ere with my sword
To the heart I stab him!
So heed well what I say:
Rest not beside the spring.
Seek somewhere else
A far-off spot,
And nevermore return.

Thou wilt not refuse
Cooling refreshment
When the fierce fight is over?
[Siegfried motions him angrily away.
Call on me too
Shouldst thou need counsel,
[Siegfried repeats the gesture with more violence.
Or if felled on a sudden by fear.
[Siegfried rises and drives him away with furious gestures.
MIME [Aside, as he goes away.
