Jan Kochanowski's trifle II 37 Do snu (To Sleep) is a fairly enigmatic piece that researchers as a rule rightly interpret in the context of an exceptionally strong influence of Neoplatonism over the poet's oeuvre. This poem most probably deals with a reference to Anaxagoras' saying from Joannes Stobaeus' grand anthology that "there are two things that teach us about death: the time before our birth, and sleep." Kochanowski gave here a kind of Platonic commentary to the maxim from which it can follow that he did not entirely reject the Pythagorean teaching on the preexistence of the soul known from the works of Late Antique philosophers but questioned by Christianity.
