    • 1815, Filip Višnjić, “Smrt Marka Kraljevića” [“The Death of Prince Marko”], published 1845 in Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, Srpske narodne pjesme:
      Ево има сто и шесет љета
      Како сам се с тобом састануо,
      Још ми нигда посрнуо ниси,
      А данас ми поче посртати,
      Посртати и сузе ронити:
      Нека Бог зна, добро бити не ће,
      Хоће једном бити према глави,
      Јали мојој, јали према твојој.
      Look, it’s been a hundred and sixty years
      since I joined up with you;
      till now you’ve never once stumbled,
      but today you started to stumble,
      to stumble and to drop tears:
      God knows nothing good will come of this,
      one of us will get it on the head,
      either on mine, or on yours.
