And gave them back to the wedding-guests.
To the kum he gave the golden shirt,
To the stari svat the golden tray,
To the vojvoda the golden apple,
To the čauš he gave back the spear,180
To Miloš the rich-wrought sabre,
And to Marko remained the heavy mace.
So the guests continued on their way,
Marko went up the mountain singing,
The giant tarried in the throes of death[1].
