But the steward bids me stay,

Lest the proud Pole's sheep should stray!

Gladly I would hunting go,

With the bobtailed dog so fleet,

Pleasure of a good brave youth!

But the steward bids me stay,

Lest the proud Pole's steeds should stray!

O farewell, thou rosy maid,

Rattle gently, rusty sabre!

Quick on horseback, Haidamack!
