Wilt thou have heaven's kingdom for thy portion, Or an earthly kingdom ? If an earthly, Saddle thy good steed — and gird him tightly. Let thy heroes buckle on their sabres, Smite the Turkish legions like a tempest. And these legions all will fly before thee. But if thou wilt have heaven's kingdom rather, Speedily erect upon Kosovo, Speedily erect a church of marble ; Not of marble, but of silk and scarlet ; That the army, to its vespers going. May from sin be purged — for death be ready : For t...hy warriors all are doom'd to stumble ; Thou, too, prince, wilt perish with thy army ! " When the Tsar Lazar had read the writings, many were his thoughts and long his musings. IN HUMAN HISTORY 39 " Lord my God ! what — which shall be my portion, Which my choice of these two proffer'd kingdoms ? Shall I choose heaven's kingdom ? Shall I rather Choose an earthly one ? — for what is earthly Is all fleeting, vain, and unsubstantial ; Heavenly things are lasting, firm, eternal. " So the Tsar preferred a heavenly kingdom rather than an earthly.
