My kin are gathered here. Of my fair name
I'll question them.—Are ye prepared to swear
That Hagen Tronje is no murderer?
ALL EXCEPT GISELHER.
We are prepared.
HAGEN.
Thou'rt silent, Giselher?
Wilt thou not for thine uncle take thine oath
That Hagen Tronje is no murderer?
GISELHER (raising his hand).
I am prepared.
HAGEN.
Ye need not take the oath.
[He goes forward to KRIEMHILD in the cathedral.]
