Zelenka was then also seen by Phoebus,
who rightly praised him as follows:
You most highly praised, perfect VIRTUOS,
Your self-gained fame is world-renowned and great;
You can for the Glory of God, delight the Soul,
and movingly compose Church music,
which is so touching, that the devotional Breast
already experiences the Foretaste of Pleasures of Heavens;
Therefore Your Praise will blossom according to your Name,
Both here on Earth and on the stage of the Stars.
- Johann Gottlob Kittel (1740)
