Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manuscript of the Queen's Court: A Collection of Old Bohemian Lyrico-Epic Songs, With Other Ancient Bohemian Poems
The poet then goes on to describe the ga thering together of the heroes by the brothers. Zaboj blesses the host. Their movements are all' recorded, and at every step the hard in troduces his word of promise, of counsel, or of vengeance. Zaboj himself takes a part in the fight, his blows are, said to fall in front of the fight like a hailstorm. There is a for cible description of the long-enduring battle and the progress of it. Zaboj is represented as endowed with super - human strength, able to fell a tree with a single stroke of his battle axe, destroying thirty enemies with his own hand, piercing his foes through at a distance of five fathoms, and following them without his shield with sword in hand a very grey hound in pursuit, a lynx in perception; yet in the midst of all preserving a great self possession, and exercising wonderful great mindedness towards the fallen. The ballad concludes with this song of the hard.
