Fasten’d, straight, the horses to the chariot;

Fill’d it with six lasts of golden treasures;

Through the whole wide world the trusty servant

Wander’d—asking for these same-named beings—

For the twins—for Stoyan and Stoyana;

Full three years he sought them,—sought them vainly:

Nowhere could he find these same-named beings:

Nowhere found he Stoyan and Stoyana.

Then he hasten’d homeward to his master;

Gave the king his horses and his chariot;
