 The Sapphic stanza was also used in Poland during Enlightenment.Poets of the time preferred the Polish alexandrine (7+6) to the hendecasyllable (5+6), but used the latter metre in Italian forms, such as sesta rima and ottava rima, as well as in Sappho's stanza.Sapphic stanzas can be found in Adam Naruszewicz's poetry.
