“„Nečiníte dobře, Švejku,“ řekl polní kurát, „host do domu, bůh do domu. Za dávných dob při hostinách dávali se obveselovat zrůdama. Přiveďte ho sem, ať nás pobaví.“”
"What you did wasn't right, Švejk," said the chaplain. "A guest in the house is God in the house. In old times, they used to have freaks entertain guests at banquets. Bring him here so he can amuse us for a bit."
“The title "took," at once, every throat responded, and a roaring shout went up, of—"Long live Foo-foo the First, King of the Mooncalves!" followed by hootings, cat-calls, and peals of laughter.”
“"Send to thy neighbours," said the Templar; "let them assemble their people, and come to the rescue of three knights, besieged by a jester and a swine-herd in the baronial castle of Reginald Front-de-Bœuf!"”
