Mazeppa Lord Byron 1.0
Byron wrote this poem based on the true storyof Mazeppa from Voltaire's "The History of Charles XII, King ofSweden."The man who filled this position at that time was a Polish noblenamed Mazeppa, who had been born in the Palatinate of Podolia; hehad been a page to King John Casimir and had acquired a littlelearning at his court. In his youth he had an affair with the wifeof another Polish nobleman. When the husband discovered it, he hadhim tied stark naked on the back of a wild horse and let him loosein that state. The horse, which came from the Ukraine, returnedthere, carrying Mazeppa, half-dead from fatigue and hunger. Somepeasants succoured him, and he remained among them for a long time,distinguishing himself in several expeditions against the Tartars.His superior learning gave him great prestige among the Cossacks;finally, his daily-increasing reputation forced the tsar to makehim prince of the Ukraine.
