Aids Radihost[1] the while;
Forth from the ground spring golden ears,
With them a golden age appears,
And Swantowit doth smile.”
Therefore with pious zeal that burns
To sacred Rzip his steps he turns,
To praise Perun on high;
For prosperous times he prays and fair,
For fame—the people gather’d there
Doth “Long live Czechia!” cry.
- ↑ Radihost, the Slavonic goddess of trade. Swantowit, the god of war. Rzip, the sacred mountain, where Perun the god of thunder, the supreme deity, was adored.
