Komu zh yiyi pokazhu ya, I xto tuyu movu Pry`vitaye, ugadaye Vely`keye slovo? Vsi ogluxly` — poxy`ly`ly`s` V kajdanax... bajduzhe... Ty` smiyeshsya, a ya plachu, Vely`ky`j mij druzhe. A shho vrody`t` z togo plachu? [Bogy`lova, brate...]1 Ne zarevut` v Ukrayini Vol`niyi garmaty`. Ne zarizhe bat`ko sy`na, Svoyeyi dy`ty`ny`, Za chest`, [slavu]2, za braterstvo, Za volyu Vkrayiny`. Ne zarizhe — vy`koxaye Ta j prodast` v rizny`cyu Moskalevi. Cze b to, bachy`sh, Lepta udovy`ci Prestolovi- otechestvu Ta nimoti plata. Nexaj, brate. A my` budem Smiyat`sya ta plakat`.
