The last verse is not in Čelakowsky's printed collection: he has been so kind as to communicate it in MS.
Kam pak’s dal můg milý kytičku
Co gsem ti wcěra dala!
"Trhal gsém u řeky ořechy,
Ona mně uplowála."Panjmámo gede k nám.
He comes! he comes! O see, mother! see!
He comes in his splendid car;
A feather behind his hat has he—
Like an emperor from the war.
O see he has taken the feather'd pen,
He has opened an unwrit scroll:
Will he write my name—which again and again,
He has written on his soul?While the art of writing was possessed by few, the accomplishment was deemed by the many a special mark of distinction.
