Born around 1550 in Kalisz, he came from a bourgeois family. From a young age he settled in Lviv, then moved to Lublin, where he served in the city government. He was the mayor of Lublin. For some time he taught at the Zamość school. The poet wrote four works: two in Latin: Roksolania (1584) and The Victory of the Gods (1587), and two in Polish: Flis (1598) and The Purse of the Jews (1600). For the work "The First Speech Against the Jesuits" he was persecuted and starved to death in 1602. In the poem "Roxolania", the author not only manifested his love for the Ukrainian land, but also placed his tree (maple) in the allegorical image of Roksolania - the forest.
