The Legionist by Brodzinski
See N. 7 , Warsz.
A Legionist is a soldier one of those sold Poles who after
the partition of their country formed a Legions
under Dambrowski – and fought in along with
in different campaigns under Napoleon: in Egypt,
Italy and Spain. The scene of this poetry is
placed in Italy.
The Poles
The nut brown courser speeds o'er Italia's plain
The rider is a Lechite, young and persive
Near the road a gazing family standing before their house
Recognizes in him, by his dress, a native from a foreign land
They stop him on the road by friendly words of hospitality
And the chief of in the group holds with him this converse.
The Italian
Thou, fair-haired youth, and rosy-cheeked!
What inexplicable longing urges thee through the world
Why doest camest thou to stray in a foreign land from the distant North
What is thy condition, what thy want?
The Pole
The name of my country, tells my condition. What I am Sarmatia! Son
My country is torn away – I haste to foreigners –
To offer them my services, my blood and my life wound
If I can only preserve but one single drop for my country.
To love it, to serve rescue it, these are my principles!
My only heritage behold are these arms
If you are willing to assist me; let me hear
Where How far are my my other companions of arms?
The My father whom I left in feeble age
Sent me armed with this falchion to join them.
