HOW SIEGFRIED WAS SLAIN. 155 ' ' For this those shall answer who may to you be born After this fatal hour. Your wrath has led you on To take a cruel vengeance on my life this day, With shame, from all true Degen, severed you shall be. " Around came all the Recken where he stricken lay : It was to many of them in sooth a joyless day. If there was truth in any, such did bewail him there : This from all did merit the Knight beyond compare. The King of Burgundy o'er his death did wail. Then spake t...he dying hero : " Little can it avail That o'er the wrong he sorrow by whom it was begun ; Great reproach he merits, 'twere better left undone. " Then spake the grim Hagen : " I know not what you rue ; Now at last our troubles have an end in view. Left are there now not many who can us withstand ; Glad am I that his power is ended by my hand. '' "You may make easy boasting, " spake Siegfried again. "If this murderous temper I in you had seen, Well had I known truly to keep both body and life. I have on earth no sorrow, save for Chriemhild my wife.
