By the end of the sixteenth century, it is true, the
extinction of the hereditary dynasty of the Jagiellos had
enabled the team of aristocrats and squires to break
through the last traces of royal control which still held
them in nominal check: the nobles had, by making
kingship elective, robbed it of power ; they had hand-
cuffed the peasants to the soil, confined the citizens to
the cities, and made the tenure of any and every office
conditional on ownership of land; they had, with a
delicious sense of paradox, made unanimity a sine qua
non of all fresh legislation, and so rendered nugatory
every attempt at reform, for unanimity was the one
condition which the Poles, the most urbane, gregarious,
and
sociable
of people, but always coming to fisticuffs
whenever two or three of them were gathered together
in their country's interest, could never attain.

7 All things are murderous
When you come to your Time
8 Long did your every gain
Come at hardship's price
9 Disaster deafens you
To questions that I cry
10 I must steel myself for you
Will never again reply
11 Would that my heart could face
Your death for a moment's time
12 Would that the Fates had spared
Your life instead of mine
The original:
طافَ يَبغي نَجْوَةً مَن هَلَاكٍ فهَلَك
لَيتَ شِعْري ضَلَّةً أيّ شيءٍ قَتَلَك
أَمريضٌ لم تُعَدْ أَم عدوٌّ خَتَلَك
أم تَوَلّى بِكَ ما غالَ في الدهْرِ السُّلَك
والمنايا رَصَدٌ للفَتىً حيثُ سَلَك
طالَ ما قد نِلتَ في غَيرِ كَدٍّ أمَلَك
كلُّ شَيءٍ قاتلٌ حينَ تلقَى أجَلَك
أيّ شيء حَسَنٍ لفتىً لم يَكُ لَك
إِنَّ أمراً فادِحاً عَنْ جوابي شَغَلَك
سأُعَزِّي النفْسَ إذ لم تُجِبْ مَن سأَلَك
ليتَ قلبي ساعةً صَبْرَهُ عَنكَ مَلَك
ليتَ
نَفْسي
قُدِّمَت للمَنايا بَدَلَك
