REFORMÁTUSOK LAPJA 7 <y\íational ong Magyars, rise, your country calls you! Meet this hour, whate’er befalls you! Shall we freemen be, or slaves? Choose the lot your spirit craves! — By Hungary’s holy God Do we swear, Do we swear, that servile chains We’ll no more bear! Slaves, alas, we long have been, Shaming our ancestral kin. They as freemen lived and died; Captive graves their bones deride. By Hungary’s holy God Do we swear, Do we swear, that servile chains We’ll no more bear! Vile is he who will not give Life to let his eounttry live, Counting his poor breath a prize Dearer than his native skies! By Hungary’s holy God Do we swear, Do we swear, that servile chains We’ll no more bear! Swords are nobler than the fetter — Suit the freeborn arm far better. Yet we’ve worn harsh chains and cords. Give us no wour faithful swords! By Hungary’s holy God Do we swear, Do we swear, that servile chains We’ll no more bear! Beauty to the Magyar name Shall return, and ancient fame That these evil epochs sully We shall cleanse in battle fully. By Hungary’s holy God Do we swear, Do we swear, that servile chains We’ll no more bear! Where our grassy graves shall sleep Children’s children still shall keep All our names in sacred trust, Kneeling bless our silent dust. By Hungary’s holy God Do we swear, Do we swear, that servile chains We’ll no more bear! Sándor Petőfi 12 POINTS OF THE 1848 HUNGARIAN REVOLUTION 1. Freedom of Press, abolition of censor- !> ship 2.
