I take farewell of you, Panna Irene so many years! so many years! I loved you all so greatly, so heartily. Some people call me a romantic old dreamer. I am. I suffer. Je souffre horriblement.

On the card I will proclaim that Panna Danuta Jurandowna is the prettiest and most virtuous girl among all living in this or any other kingdom. Anyone who wishes to contradict this declaration, I will fight until one of us dies or is taken into captivity." "Very well! I see you know the knightly custom. And what more?"
"I have learned from Pan Mikolaj of Dlugolas that the death of Panna Jurandowna's mother was caused by the brutality of a German who wore the crest of a peacock.

"I have sworn; although I am a prisoner from Boleslawiec and a poor boy, still I am a wlodyczka." Zbyszko became angry: "Go away! What; are you going to serve me against my will?

Ah" her wild smile broke out "I know what I'll do! I'll drink panna cream they call it here. Every night at tea they bring in what would cost a lira in Florence. I'll drink a whole cup of it! I'll eat pounds of butter and lots, lots of pudding that's what makes English people fat. I'll be fat too. You'll see!" And she threw a threatening nod at the scarecrow reflected in the tortoise-shell mirror.
My! that little garret room, and that big church Panna Marya they called it where I'd go and sit with the baby when the services were on to see if I could keep warm in the crowd!

Do you not know that Pani Darvid and Panna Irene set out in a few days for a retreat?" "To Krynichna," said Maryan, completing the information.
In the olden days war-songs and long ballads were the most usual form of music. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were specially rich in the production of songs that live even now.

With the change of times the songs are altered too, and now they are mostly lyric.
