Volume 9 / Act 4 — SCENE I
Reading edition
Great hall. GUNTHER with his warriors. HAGEN carries a spear.
HAGEN.
A blind man e'en can hit a linden leaf; At fifty paces I will wager you With this good spear to split a hazelnut.
GISELHER.
Why dost thou choose this day to show thy skill? We've always known thy arms would never rust.
HAGEN.
He comes! Now show me you can wear dark looks And altered bearing although none has lost His father.
