BOHEMIAN LEGENDS.

In the old time they used to say,
With a good Lord.
The expedition would make way,
And with his Lord
His servant would be great one day.”
This remember all.

Ye wagoners, and fiery youth,
Think of your souls.
Risk not your lives for things, forsooth—
For wealth untold.
Fight not for plunder, but the truth,
The truth of your God.

Remember the words of command
You have been told.
Obey your leader’s voice and hand,
And be ye bold.
Keep your own places in the band,
Without disorder.

Then joyfully call out, and shout,
The enemy,
With God’s aid, we will surely rout
Our enemy.
God is our Lord, be that our shout,
Kill, kill, no quarter.
