KRIEMHILD.

No wish to go!

GISELHER.

What say'st thou? We've no time!

We've much to do before our men march forth.

KRIEMHILD.

And is all that intrusted to your youth?

If I am dear to you, if you have not Forgotten that one mother nourished us, Ride after them.

GISELHER.

They're long since in the wood.

GERENOT.

And then thou hast one brother with him, now,

KRIEMHILD.

I beg of you!

GISELHER.

We must collect the arms, As thou shalt see.

[_Starts to go_.]

KRIEMHILD.

Then tell me one thing more Is Hagen Siegfried's friend?

GERENOT.

Why not, I pray?

KRIEMHILD.

But has he ever praised him?

GISELHER.

It is praise If Hagen does not blame, and I've not heard That he found fault with Siegfried.

[_Both leave_.]

KRIEMHILD.

Most of all This frightens me. They are not with my lord!

SCENE XV

_Enter_ FRIGGA.

KRIEMHILD.

How, nurse? Art seeking me?

FRIGGA.

I seek for none.

KRIEMHILD.

Then is there something wanted for the Queen?

FRIGGA.

There is not. She needs nothing.

KRIEMHILD.

Nothing still?

But can she not forgive?

FRIGGA.

I do not know!

She has had no occasion to forgive; She never was offended. I heard horns.

Is there a hunt?

KRIEMHILD.

Hast thou then ordered it?

FRIGGA.

I--No!

[_Exit_.]
