| Wotan Comes from the wood in a terrible ſtate of wrath
|
- Where is Brünnhilde?
- Where is the guilty one?
- Would ye defy me
- And hide the rebel?
|
|
and excitement and goes towards the Valkyries on the height, looking angrily for Brünnhilde.
|
| The Valkyries
|
Fearful and loud thy rage is!
By what misdeed have thy daughters
- Vexed and provoked thee
- To terrible wrath?
|
| Wotan
|
- Fools, would ye flout me?
- Have a care, rash ones!
- I know: Brünnhilde
- Fain ye would hide.
- Leave her, the lost one
- Cast off for ever,
- Even as she
- Cast off her worth!
|
| The Valkyries
|
To us fled the pursued one,
In her need praying for help,
- Dismayed and fearful,
- Dreading thy wrath.
- For our trembling sister
- Humbly we beg
That thy first wild rage be calmed,
|
| Wotan
|
- Weak-hearted
- And womanish brood!
- Is this your valour,
- Given by me?
- For this have I reared you
- Bold for the fight,
- Made you relentless
- And hard of heart
|
