When Vukashin heard the Vila’s language, Soon he call’d to Dēssimir, his servant: “Listen, Dessimir, my trusty servant! Thou hast been my trusty servant ever; Thou shalt be my son from this day onward. Fasten thou my coursers to my chariot: Load it with six lasts of golden treasures: 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 Stojan and Stojana: Steal them, if with gold thou canst not buy them. Bring them here to Scadra or Bojana: We’ll inter them in the wall’s foundation: So the wall’s foundations will be strengthened: So we shall build up our Scadra’s fortress.” Dessimir obey’d his master’s mandate; 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 Stojan and Stojana: Full three years he sought them,—sought them vainly: Nowhere could he find these same-named beings: Nowhere found he Stojan and Stojana. Then he hasten’d homewards to his master; Gave the king his horses and his chariot; Gave him his six lasts of golden treasures: “Here, my sov’reign, are thy steeds and chariot: Here thou hast thy lasts of golden treasures: Nowhere could I find those same-named beings: Nowhere found I Stojan and Stojana.” When Vukashin had dismiss’d his servant, Straight he call’d his builder, master Rado. Rado call’d on his three hundred workmen; And they built up Scadra on Bojana; But, at even did the Vila raze it: Vainly did they raise the wall’s foundation; Vainly seek to build up Scadra’s fortress. And the Vila, from the mountain-forest, Cried, “Vukashin, listen! listen to me! Thou dost spill thy wealth, and waste thy labour: Vainly seek’st to fix the wall’s foundations; Vainly seek’st to elevate the fortress. Listen now to me! Ye are three brothers: Each a faithful wife at home possesses:— Her who comes to-morrow to Bojana, Her who brings the rations to the workmen— Her immure within the wall’s foundations:— So shall the foundations fix them firmly: So shalt thou erect Bojana’s fortress.”
