Fragments of Kosovo Ballads 5
" Who is the great hero that lifted once his hand,
And sundered well twelve Turkish heads with the edges of the brand? "
" That is the brave Ban Strahin. "
" What hero cometh here,
That spitteth the Moslems two and two on the edges of his spear,
And driveth them before him to Sitnitsa's gray tide? "
" That is Srija the champion, whom men call the Angry-Eyed. "
" What hero on a white steed bears the flag of the cross in his hands,
And all along he harries the flying Turks in bands,
And chases them in his anger to Sitnitsa the flood? "
" That is Boshko the captain, of old Yug Bogdan's blood. "
