ŻmijaRomans poetyczny z podań ukraińskich w sześciu pieśniach For thee, who thus in too protracted song/ Hast soothed thine idlesse with inglorious lays,/ Soon shall thy voice be lost amid the throng/ Of louder minstrels in thèse later days:/ To such resign the strife for fading bays —/ III may such contest now the spirit move/ Which heeds nor keen reproach nor partial praise;/ Since cold each kinder heart that might approve,/ And none are left to please when none are left to love.   Byron (Motto do I tomu Poezyj, Paryż 1832) [...]
