On to the votes at once! Grand marshal, please To order silence! I desire to speak. A CROWD OF VOICES. War! War with Moscow! SAPIEHA. Nay, I will be heard. Ho, marshal, do your duty! GRAND MARSHAL. 'Tis, you see, Quite fruitless. SAPIEHA. What? The marshal's self suborned? Is this our Diet, then, no longer free?
MARINA. Therefore my whole heart do I pledge to thee; To thee I trust the acting of my thoughts. The king doth mean us false. I read him through. 'Twas a concerted farce with Sapieha, A juggle, all!
Such excellent decrees have passed before; Oh, cease, and for their sake, so fraught with good, Unite your voice with the majority! On this right bench are all unanimous. SAPIEHA. And let them to a man! Yet I say no! I urge my veto I break up the Diet. Stay further progress! Null and void fire all The resolutions passed DEPUTIES draw their swords, and threaten SAPIEHA with them.
BISHOP OF WERMELAND. The documents on which he rests have been Examined, and are found authentic. We May give him audience. SEVERAL DEPUTIES. Nay! We must, we must! LEO SAPIEHA. To hear is to admit his right. ODOWALSKY. And not To hear is to reject his claims unheard. ARCHBISHOP OF GNESEN. Is it your will that he have audience? I ask it for the second time and third.
In Pilsudsky's honour a lesson in Polish geography and history was ordered to be given in all the schools of France on the 5th of February, 1921. Prince Sapieha and Marshal Pilsudsky negotiated a secret treaty with France on that occasion not with the Allies as a whole, but with France. As a seasonal fruit of that treaty came the Silesian adventure supported by France.
Comte Adam Laginski belonged to one of the oldest and most illustrious families in Poland, which was allied to many of the princely houses of Germany, Sapieha, Radziwill, Mniszech, Rzewuski, Czartoryski, Leczinski, Lubormirski, and all the other great Sarmatian SKIS. But heraldic knowledge is not the most distinguishing feature of the French nation under Louis-Philippe, and Polish nobility was no great recommendation to The bourgeoisie who were lording it in those days.
A still more ancient sacred edifice is the Church of Our Lady in the Nove Miasto, or New Town; but it certainly retains no traces of deep antiquity. Beyond the great Sapieha and Sierakovski Barracks towers the Alexander Citadel, with its outlying fortifications, built in 1832-35, at the expense of the city, as a penalty for the insurrection in 1830.
I remember myself what was once told me when I was a little child; I remember, though I was not ten years old at the time, how I saw at our house the late Sapieha, lieutenant of a regiment of cuirassiers, who later was Court Marshal of the Kingdom, and finally died as Grand Chancellor of Lithuania, at the age of one hundred and ten years; when Jan III. Sobieski was king, he had served in the Vienna campaign under the command of the hetman Jablonowski.
The Prince Sapieha, Kosciusko, and Sobieski, with the sage Dombrowski, were the first who took this oath of fidelity to Poland; and they administered it to Thaddeus, who, kneeling down, inwardly invoked Heaven to aid him, as he swore to fulfil his trust.
Sapieha, the principal leader, was massacred by his nobles. Pulauwski and Micksenski were delivered up, wounded, to the Russians; Zaremba betrayed his country; Oginski, the last of these great patriots, roused Lithuania at the moment when Lesser Poland had laid down its arms.
