I'd gone & put an e instead of an i in divine. Can't think how I came to do that, but sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can spot things, so thank you. The Ring in erring was obvious but I still can't arrive at an explanation for the rest of the clue.

it was Der Ring Des Nibelungen - remove the 'd' from the first two words

JMR, I'm mortified not to have thought of it, but so relieved to have the enigma resolved. MANY thanks! Happy New Year!
