Translation:Curses (Norwid)

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people. Psalm LXXXIX

No Polish King stood on the scaffold, Well, Frenchman will say us: Rebels!

No Polish monk blasphemed against whole-virginity, So heretic will say us: Heretics!

No Polish plough ploughed else’s land, So we will be treated like a thieves.

No Polish spirit broke up with his…, Well, they will teach us – what is history?

But goes time – of Christ's nobility, Voice of conscience and voiceless knowledge;

But goes time and the way simplifieds itself... Fear those – who today learn to fear the God.
