Skinder Basha the Monarch next address'd
Skinder, whose victory at CecorcaX * in the year 1620 the defeat at Cecora
His name renown: "O thou who art possess'd
"Of earth's most mighty throne, thy humble slave
"Would thiss advise, be Poland first oppressed
"Beneath thy vengeance, in his bloody grace
"Their leader lies, their country's pride are gone,
"Their fall's begun, advance to conquest on.

"Kolkiewski led them on, a chief whose fame
"Was high in war, grown grey' midst tails and bleed;
"Great was their number, ardent glory's flame
"Burnt in each breast, their kindling courage glow'd
"At glorious deeds of old; thy sacred name,
"O Prophet, they blasphemed; thy power bestow'd
"Thy people aid; the o'verweening Infidel
"Crush'd by thy miracles before us fell.

"Since widely that defeat has spread dismay,
"The terrified remainder to subdue
"Will now be easy, they will pass away
"Like dust before the whirlwind, when they view
"Our might; speed on the sword's deem'd way
"That o'ver them hangs; drag all the wretched crew
"Wives, children into slavery; each bold foe
"Who dares resist our sword its force shall know
