Sound the horns,
And call the hunt together. For 'tis time
That we should eat.
[The horns are blown.]
Now take things as they are
And leave it all to me. If thou art not
Offended, or forgivest what is past,
So be it, yet forbid thy servant not
To rescue and avenge thy noble wife!
She will not break the solemn oath she swore.
If she's deceived in her firm trust in us—Her
confidence that we'll redeem the pledge—Then
all the joy of life that once again,
May be aroused within her youthful heart
When shadows deepen and the end is near,
Will be transformed into one dreadful curse,
One final imprecation upon thee!
GUNTHER.
There still is time.
SCENE II
Enter SIEGFRIED with RUMOLT and huntsmen.
SIEGFRIED.
I'm here! And now ye hunters,
Where are your spoils? Mine were to follow me
Upon a wagon, but the wagon broke.
