That, soon as his eyes have beheld thee, he will give thee such rich store
That never thine hands may spend it: I pledge my faith therefor.”
Unto him the Queen made answer: “O noble Rüdiger,
Never had Daughter of Princes such treasure bequeathed unto her
As that whereof Hagen hath stripped me with neither ruth nor shame!”
Then to the treasury royal her brother Gernot came:
In the door did he set the great key with authority as of a king,
And all the treasure of Kriemhild forth of the place did they bring,
Marks full thirty thousand—yea, more, it may haply be—
That the guests might take it; and Gunther rejoiced that deed to see.
