3. Desportes, ibid. 'Adieu a la Pologne' (Farewell to Poland). This verse, rarely quoted in
   Poland, was seen as a slur on the national honour, and evoked a number of patriotic
   responses: 'We chose a king and he deserted us./He spun us tales about his rich
   gifts./You Frenchmen, you came in the night/And you left in the night without hon-
   our./We have things in Poland which you don't have./We have Liberty, the Supreme
   Good./whilst in your stone palaces, what servitude!' Czubek, Odpowiedz przez Polaka
   wselecznemu Francuzowi, quoted in Champion, op. cit., ii, 31.
