    Denmark was also mentioned indirectly:

    “ As Czarniecki Poznan town regains,
    Fighting with the Swede,
    To free our fatherland from chains.
    We shall return by sea.”

    Stefan Czarniecki was a 17th-century hetman, famous for his role in driving the Swedish Army out of Poland after an occupation that had left the country in ruins and is remembered by Poles as the Deluge. With the outbreak of a Dano-Swedish War, he continued his fight against Sweden in Denmark, from where he “returned across the sea” to fight the invaders alongside the king, who was then at the Royal Castle in Poznań. In the same castle, Józef Wybicki started his career as a lawyer in 1765.
