     Sad ti osudi sudom pravim,
     Ako istine jes što u tebi;
     Je li razlog, da ja ostavim
     Za tvé slave slavu od nebi:
     I za siene pustim tvoje,
     Što je istino, što vie?no je?

     Now judge with true judgement,
     If there is anything of the truth in you;
     Is it reason, that I leave behind
     Glory from heaven for the sake of your glories:
     And for your shadows let go of
     What is true, what is eternal?
