Summary/Abstract: The subject of the dissertation comparative in nature is a comparative analysis of a drinkingPieśń bachiczna by Franciszek Zabłocki, published in “Zabawy przyjemne i pożyteczne” (1774),with an original version of this text, Chanson bachique, introduced in the first edition of the Frenchspeaking literary magazine “Journal Polonais” (1770). The considerations lead to the emphasis ofthe main features of a poetic workshop the Polish author used, translating the French work based ona mythological material. The circle of observation also covers the major principles providing patronagefor the method of translation used by Zabłocki. A characteristic involving a versification shapeand a stylistic‑linguisticlayer of both texts leads to the indication of the extent of the dependence ofthe Polish text from the original version, as well as the distinction of original author’s solutions ofa translator, deriving from specific features of his /her creative workshop and artistic preferences.The effect of comparative investigations is the recognition of the poem by Zabłocki as the translationfairly faithfully reflecting the meaning of particular parts of the French work, at the same time, withthe enrichment of the original work with additional references to the mythological sphere and thereal extra‑literaryreality. The criterion of the means of the treatment of analogical contents by thetranslator, as well as a linguistic‑stylisticand poetic shape of the text allow for considering Pieśńbachiczna as a free artistic translation, oscillating between the translation proper and adaptationwhich contains the elements of a translatory interpretation.
