Boleslav Jablonský

“ Th’ ancestral spirit in its wondrous might
Inspireth all the corners of the land;
The words ‘He is arisen’ glad recite
The priests who in their country’s temple stand.
Then rise up all! ye sleepers till to-day! ”

“ And prove indeed ye are Bohemians born!
So shall th’ ancestral glories re-appear,
Your own lov’d land in splendour to adorn!
↑ The expression of the Emperor Charles IV. ↑ The Lion with two tails is the emblem of Bohemia.
⁂ Cz in Czech (which is the Polish, not the Bohemian orthography, it being impossible for want of types to employ the marked letters, as the Bohemians do) should be pronounced like our ch in church. The ch at the end of the word is the only guttural sound in the Bohemian language. ”
