Gospođo Marija!
Occasional verse and dedications
Mrs Marija!
U čitanju nek' Vam knjiga,pruži ugodno veselje,stvarajući ovu knjigu,to su bile moje želje.
In the reading, may this bookbring you pleasant joy and cheer;as I wrote this book, that wasall I wished, with heart sincere.
Ak' Vam ova knjiga moja,zadovoljstva pruži maloi meni bi, vjerujte mi,toga časa radost dalo.
If this book of mine should bringyou some pleasure, just a bit,then, believe me, in that hourI'd have joy because of it.
Čitajte iz ove knjige,svaku večer prije snova,da Vam vedra i vesela,svane jutrom nova zora.
Read a little from this bookevery night before you dream,so that, cheerful, glad and bright,a new dawn for you may gleam.
I proveli dan veseli,iskreno Vam autor želi!
And may your day be merry too:the author's sincere wish for you!
