from a Serbian epic

In the lovely village of Nevesinje,

Bey Lujibovic writes a letter

and sends it to the Rocky Piva,

into the hands of Bey Pivlyanahin:

"Listen you, Bey Pivlyanahin,

You bit right into my heart,

for you killed my brother.

Ahi! Ahi!

Come out you, I dare you to fight!

I give you three choices:

First at the rocky Korita,

second on Trusina Hill,

the third, where ever we should meet by chance:

If you lack the courage to fight,

I will send you an embroidering frame and a distaff,

and moreover an Egyptian cotton reel

with a boxwood spindle;

you may weave for me a shirt

and a lacy apron."

When the letter reached Baya,

he understood the contents:

he reached for his inkwell,

and wrote the Bey an answer.
