SCENE VII

HAGEN (_following her_).

Thy hero now is as a stag to me.

Had he not broken silence, he were safe,

And yet I surely knew that could not be.

If one's transparent as an insect is,

That looks now red, now green, as is its food,

One must beware of any mysteries,

Lest e'en the vitals show the secret forth!
