Vol. IV. p. 497.] [Footnote 41: The reader will find an elaborate essay on the popular poetry of the Ukraine in the Foreign Quarterly Review, Vol. XXVI. No. 51. It was evidently written by one of the Polish exiles in England. In it, however, a singular mistake is made as to the derivation of the appellation of the Zaporoguean Kozaks. _Porog_ does not mean "Island" in any Slavic language.] [Footnote 42: See a description of this national dance in Wilkinson, _Dalmatia and Montenegro,_ I, p. 399.] [Footnote 43: A Servian woman never would sit down in the presence of her husband. At table she stands behind him, and waits on him and his guests. Even the wife of prince Milosh did so; only with the restriction that she confined her services to her husband. The Morlachians--who seem indeed to be the _rudest_ part of the Servian population--do not mention their wives to a stranger without adding: "With your permission."] [Footnote 44: The reader will find a description of a Morlachian wedding in Wilkinson, Vol. II. p. 164 sq. For a fuller account, see _Volkslieder der Serben, von Talvj_, Vol. II. Introduction.] [Footnote 45: Servian popular poetry has properly no rhymes; but wherever a rhyme occasionally occurs, it appears to be welcome; so in this little piece, which is faithfully conformed to the original. All our specimens of the Servian "female" songs are taken from the first volume of Vuk's Collection. See above, p. 115.] [Footnote 46: For more specimens see Bowring's _Servian Popular Poetry_, Lond. 1827. These little songs are there made much more attractive by giving them an English dress with _rhymes_, and accommodating them to the English way of feeling and expressing feelings; a proceeding which we have purposely avoided, because our only object is a _faithful_ translation. Dr. Bowring has moreover translated mainly from our German translation.] [Footnote 47: A mountainous region in the vicinity of Montenegro.] [Footnote 45: See the similar beginning of "Hassan Aga," p. 324 above.] [Footnote 49: See an account of this remarkable custom, from the Abbate Fortia, in Wilkinson, II. p. 178 sq.] [Footnote 59: This beautiful poem see in Vuk, III. p. 299 sq. Transl. by Talvi, II. p. 245.] [Footnote 51: As the best illustration of this remark we recommend, among other examples, the poem on the death of Meho Orugditch, Vuk, III. p. 333 sq, Transl. by Talvi, II. p. 279 sq.] [Footnote 52: From Czelakowsky's Collection; see above, p. 216, n. 58.] [Footnote 53: From _Slowanske narodnj pjsne sebran. F.L. Czelakowskym_, Prague 1822-27. The collection of Carniolan ballads by Achazel and Korytko, which appeared in 1839, we have not yet seen.] [Footnote 54: From _Rukopis Kralodworsky, etc. wydan od W.
