Arpād look'd round with joy to see
His conquests fair and far;
And more while from a mountain's top
He look'd on Fejervár.^[1]

The kingdom thus was won by us,
And Magyar-orszag^[2] hight;
From Nemet men we won it then,
And still 'tis ours by right.

[Several stanzas are wanting here. It concludes thus:]

Of those who gain'd the Magyar land,
A chief as bold as any,
Was Buda, who when Arpād died,
Was Magyar's Kapitany.^[3]

He rear'd his throne by Duna's banks,
Near Pesth along the hill;
And Buda's city, fair and rich,

Preserves his memory still.
