Jan Kollár

Canto III. Sonnet 62

A hundred times I spoke, but now I call

To you divided, O Slavonians!

Let’s be a whole and not a part in clans;

Be one in harmony or naught at all.

A dove-like nation we in scorn are styled.

But doves you know are come of such a stock

That loves to live within a common flock,

And so may you apply this trait reviled.
