Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to provide a versificational analysis of poems written by Lazar Baranovich, the 17th cent. Ukrainian-Polish writer and church figure. The poems are investigated mainly in metrical aspect (partially also in stanzaic and rhyming aspects). The article shows which formal means were used frequently and which rarely. There is also an attempt to explain the motives of author’s application of a certain meter. ”Apollo’s Lute”, Baranovich’s poetry collection in Polish (1671), served to be the main textual source for the analysis.
