He studied theology and philosophy. He was the oldest member of the Ludovít Štúr generation of the Slovak national revival. He was one of the founders and active members of the Czech-Slovak Association. His best poem: Mor ho! (approx. Crush him!)


Mor ho!
Zleteli orly z Tatry, tiahnu na podolia,
ponad vysoké hory, ponad rovné polia;
preleteli cez Dunaj, cez tú šíru vodu,
sadli tam za pomedzím slovenského rodu.

Duní Dunaj a luna za lunou sa valí:
nad ním svieti pevný hrad na vysokom bralí.
Pod tým hradom Riman-cár zastal si táborom:
belia sa rady šiatrov dalekým priestorom.
