To hold our hearts within such rapturous thrall:
Whilst thy wondrous skill, in magic call
The mighty lines that erst by Shakespeare writ.
From the dim centuries come crowding swift
With Figures, that do stand creations fit
For worlds with all revering hands to lift.
Sarmatia’s daughter grand! Fresh welcomes find
Within the land where Poland’s heroes fought;
And with her triumphs grateful feelings bind,
To add new luster to the fame she’s wrought598.
