 Jan Kochanowski used this Sapphic stanza several times in his "Cantos", "Laments", and "Psalms".An excellent example is "Lament XVI".Mikołaj Sęp-Szarzyński, who was the author of "Rymy, abo wiersze polskie" ("The rhymes or Polish poems") and Sebastian Grabowiecki, who was the author of "Setnik rymów duchownych" ("Spiritual Rhymes") also used Sapphic stanzas in their lyrical pieces.
