▪ Polish poet
born c. 1628, Podgórze, near Kraków, Poland

      Polish poet well known for his melancholy religious poetry.

      A courtier of the princely Radziwiłł family, Morsztyn spent the years 1648–57 in the military service fighting against the Russians and the Swedish invasion; in 1662 he was forced to move to Prussian territory, where he devoted himself to politics and literature.
