"Blessings be with thee, prince! and princess! thou
Be blest with countless blessings!—thus we bear
Our consecration to the marriage now,
And ask the blessings of the Eternal here!"
Voices of joy, until the sun retreated,
Rose from the palace—and when evening greeted
The guests—young virgins went, and blushing, spread
The fairest roses on the nuptial bed.
Krasořečnjk, p. 5.
