Gunther: (to Siegfried: #170a:) I’ll be disgraced (#150:) and held in shame, if you don’t refute the words she utters (:#170; :#150). (#5/#150)
Gutrune: (#150:; #170a:) faithlessly, Siegfried, you plotted deception (:#150; :#170a)? (#33a [Norns’ vari?]/#150:) Bear witness that she accuses you falsely (:#33a [Norns’ vari?]/#150)!
Vassals: (#33a/#150:) Clear yourself if you’re in the right: silence the charge, swear an oath (:#33a/#150)!

(#173?:; #164:) if that woman’s charge is true, if I broke my vow to my brother (:#173?; :#164).
Bruennhilde: (striding furiously into the circle, tearing Siegfried’s hand away from the spear and seizing the tip of it with her own hand: #77/#78; #150 vari [as an orchestral explosion]; #173:) Shining steel! Hallowed weapon! Assist my eternal oath (:#173)!
