Demetrius Zvonimir of Croatia
Who could refrain the people, not to sigh, when they watch this grave, truly worthy of sorrow? Because in this darkness a bright star rests, with sublime ancestry. How it oddly numbs! Since its barbarous death can only be explained by cursing, with dark crime of wicked folk, where their fury relents until the heart eases and with murder they take down the king, very healthy, with much power, the pious Zvonimir, distinctly fair and honest, who was their shield against enemies, used to crush the rival doors, mourn, champions, already a leader plies, old and young of Croatian land, because what was first divination of the kingdom and also honor and glory, is now in ruins.
