In Czartoryski I commend The patriot's guide, the poet's friend. King, sprung of kings, yet great and good As any pure from royal blood; O'er genius not ashamed to bear The pall, or shed at home the tear. Thou, who hast shown us how the great Are greater in their fallen state, Another rare example give . . That kings, uncurst by men, may live, And Poland by thy light shall see One nation in wide Europe free. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FUNERAL SERMON by ANDREW HUDGINS RETURN FROM DELHI by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE SCATTERING OF EVAN JONES'S ASHES by GALWAY KINNELL BROWNING'S FUNERAL by H.
