- “O mnie Moskwa i będą wiedzieć TatarowieI, różnego mieszkańcy świata, Anglikowie.”
- “I write in the same fashion that I live:My rhymes are drunken, for I love to drink.I like a revel and I like a jest,Sometimes a woman: such things fill my verse.And why pretend? The priest who strives to teachMe moderation, hides a devil within.”
- “Wielkieś mi uczyniła pustki w domu moim,Moja droga Orszulko, tym zniknienim swoim!Pełno nas, a jakoby nikogo nie było:Jedną maluczką duszą tak wiele ubyło.”
- “Kupićby cię mądrości za drogie pieniądze,Która (jeśli prawdziwie mienią) wszystkie żądze,Wszystkie ludzkie frasunki umiesz wykorzenić.”
- “Gdzieśkolwiek jest, jeśliś jest, lituj mej żałości.A niemożeszli w onej dawnej swej całości,Pociesz mię, jako możesz, a staw się przedemną,Lubo snem, lubo cieniem, lub marą nikczemną.”
- “Nieznajomy wróg jakiś miesza ludzkie rzeczy.”

Encyclopedic overview
Jan Kochanowski ( Polish: [ˈjan kɔxaˈnɔfskʲi]; 23 June 1530 – 22 August 1584) was a Polish Renaissance poet who wrote in Latin and Polish and established poetic patterns that would become integral to the Polish literary language. He has been called the greatest Polish poet before Adam Mickiewicz (the latter, a leading Romantic writer) and one of the most influential Slavic poets prior to the 19th century.
In his youth, Kochanowski traveled to Italy, where he studied at the University of Padua, and to France. In 1559 he returned to Poland, where he made the acquaintance of political and religious notables including Jan Tarnowski, Piotr Myszkowski (whom he briefly served as a courtier), and members of the influential Radziwiłł family.
