Yes; Wagner's medieval and idiosyncratic German is apparently highly archaic, risible and even incomprehensible to modern speakers - a German friend of mine tells me that when King Marke says, "Mir dies, Tristan? Dies, Tristan, mir?", it can make them fall about (I wouldn't know, but I get the general point).
I think I'd stick with your original...
