Summary/Abstract: Journeys of Daniel Naborowski to France (between 1605−1608), except for the tour of diplomatic duty on behalf of Janusz Radziwiłł, were also an occasion for coming into contact with poets from the court of Henry IV. One of the popular literary movements of that time was moral poetry also called moral tetrastichs (established by Guy de Pibrac). Among the members of this current were Pierre Matthieu and Claude Guichard, aulic poets and historians. The aim of this article is to show resemblances and parallels between writings of the above mentioned poets and poems by Daniel Naborowski (Impresa: Calando poggiando, The Brevity of Life) and pieces ascribed to him (On this, Secular Alternation).
