Travel through the whole wide world, and bring me,
Bring me back those two same-titled beings:
Bring me back that pair of twins so loving:
Bring me hither Stoyan and Stoyana:
Steal them, if with gold thou canst not buy them.
Bring them here to Skadar on Boyana[3]
We’ll inter them in the wall’s foundation:
So the wall’s foundations will be strengthened:
So we shall build up our Skadra’s fortress.”
Dessimir obey’d his master’s mandate;
