The Ode written by Franciszek Dionizy Kniaźnin is the last one in the series of six odes entitled For the occasion of consecration of priest Adam Stanisław Naruszewicz, the Archbishop coadjutor of Smoleńsk (Z okoliczności tejże [konsekracji Ks(iędza) A(dama) S(tanisława) Naruszewicza B(iskupa) K(oadiutora) S(moleńskiego)]. The odes were published in 1775 in the magazine ‘Pleasant and useful games’ („Zabawy Przyjemne i Pożyteczne”). They are a poetic account of a celebration held on 25th or 28th May 1775 in St. John’s collegiate church in Warsaw and at the same time panegyric praising merita of the poet Bishop. The work is very interesting especially as a documentary as it lists names of guests that gathered for the celebrations, one of which was the king Stanisław August Poniatowski. It also shows relationships among the elite of the capital city at the time. It is worth noting that the way of illustrating is typical for Kniaźnin in a sense and introduces mythological elements in the description of religious celebration.

"Moeris. Eclogue in other words pastoral pride: education and rest of youth extols in front of His Royal Highness Stanisław August, the King of Poland, The Grand Duke of Lithuania, and in rural rhymes a Polyarchy", this is one of three idylls by Marcin Eysymont which were offered to Stanisław August. They were published in “Zabawy Przyjemne i Pożyteczne” ["Pleasant and Useful Games"] between 1774-1776. The work is a praise of king’s activities, who was stressing the need of youth’s education and upbringing in the spirit of good citizenship. At that time it was a very important but also a very difficult issue on account of the political situation after the first partition of the country. It is the context that is very important to interpret "Moeris" – the prototype, Virgil’s ninth eclogue from where the name of the main protagonist was taken and the theme – sorrow after the loss of land, depicted with the use of pastoral topoi.
