"Śliczna w postaci, żywa jak łania". Kwestia autorstwa wiersza znanego pod tytułem "Wiersz na pochwałę J.W. Kossowskiej podskarbiny nadwornej koronnej, z okoliczności jej tańca na warszawskiej reducie" ['Lovely in stature, lively as a hind'. The issue of authorship of the text known under the title "Wiersz na pochwałę J.W. Kossowskiej podskarbiny nadwornej koronnej, z okoliczności jej tańca na warszawskiej reducie"]

The article presents doubts relating to the authorship of the text known under the title of Wiersz na pochwałę J.W. Kossowskiej podskarbiny nadwornej koronnej z okoliczności jej tańca na warszawskiej reducie, which has been historically attributed by editors to Stanisław Trembecki. The article introduces a hypothesis suggesting that the poem in question could have perhaps been penned by Józef Szymanowski. This could be evidenced by aspects of stylistics, as well as by the similarity in poetic themes, present both in the poem addressed to the Treasurer’s wife, and in a different piece (most likely written by Szymanowski), Do Kory przysięgającej na zakonność. The article is discussive in character and constitutes an encouragement to further examinations of attribution.
