LTMy contribution is dealing with the genesis of Poška's "Mužikas" which has been written between 1816 and 1825. Poška used an Polish example, which he transformed not only in Lithuanian, but in Lithuanian circumstances. As a new generation of Lithuanian scholars already did, Poška's arrangement should be re-interpretated for the background of his ethos of a nobleman. Some questions about the origin of the Polish example Poška has used can be enlightened, too.
