Grammar note
'Trzech Czechów' uses the genitive plural after the numeral 3 with masculine personal nouns. 'Szło' is neuter past tense, used with numerals that take the genitive (5+) and here in an older literary style for 3+. 'Ze Szczebrzeszyna do Szczecina' takes the genitive after 'ze' (from) and 'do' (to).
