        Hyacínthus Polónus, nobílibus et christiánis paréntibus, in Camiénsi
        villa episcopátus Vratislaviénsis natus est. A puerítia litteris
        instructus, post datam jurisprudéntiæ et sacris litteris operam, inter
        canonicos Cracovienses adscitus, insígni morum pietáte et summa
        eruditióne ceteros antecelluit. Romæ in Prædicatórum ordinem ab ipso
        institutore sancto Dominico adscriptus, perféctam vivéndi ratiónem,
        quam ab ipso didicerat, usque ad finem vitæ sanctíssime retinuit.
        Virginitátem perpetuo coluit; modestiam, patiéntiam, humilitátem,
        abstinéntiam ceterasque virtútes, ut certum reliogiosæ vitæ
        patrimónium, adamávit.


        Caritáte in Deum fervens, integras sæpe noctes fundéndis précibus
        castigandóque córpori insúmens, nullum eidem levaméntum, nisi lapidi
        innixus sive humi cubans, adhibebat. Remissus in pátriam, Frisaci
        primum in itinere amplíssimum sui ordinis monastérium, mox Cracoviæ
        álterum eréxit. Inde per alias Poloniæ regni provincias aliis quatuor
        exædificatis, incredibile dictu est quantum verbi Dei prædicatióne et
        vitæ innocéntia apud omnes profécerit. Nullum diem prætermisit, quo
        non præclára aliqua fidei, pietátis atque innocéntiæ arguménta
        præstiterit.


        Sanctíssime viri studium erga proximórum salútem maximis Deus
        miraculis illustrávit. Inter quæ illud insigne, quod Vándalum fluvium
        prope Visogradum aquis redundántem, nullo navigio usus, trajecit,
        sociis quoque expanso super undas pallio traductis. Admirábili vitæ
        genere ad quadragínta prope annos post professiónem perducto, mortis
        die suis frátribus prænuntiáto, ipso assumptæ Vírginis festo, Horis
        canonicis persolutis, sacramentis ecclesiásticis summa cum
        veneratióne perceptis, iis verbis: In manus tuas, Dómine; spíritum
        Deo réddidit, anno salútis millesimo ducentésimo quinquagesimo
        septimo. Quem miraculis, étiam post óbitum, illustrem, Clemens Papa
        octavus in Sanctórum númerum rétulit.

        Hyacinth was a Pole, and was born of the noble and Christian family in
        the town of Camien, in the diocese of Wratislaw. He was trained up in
        learning from his youth, and after studying law and theology, became
        a Canon of Crakow, where he was eminent above his fellows by the
        singular godliness of his life and the depth of his learning. Being
        at Rome, he was received into the Order of Friars Preachers by the
        Founder, St. Dominic, himself, and kept in holiness to the end of his
        life the rule of perfect living which he had learnt from him. He
        remained always a virgin, and loved modesty, long-suffering,
        lowliness, self-restraint, and all other good graces as his heritage
        in the life of a Friar.


        In the heat of his love for God, he sometimes passed whole nights in
        pouring forth prayers and chastising his body, to which he never gave
        rest but in leaning against a stone or lying upon the ground. He was
        sent back to his own country, and, on the way, founded a very large
        house of his Order at Friesach and soon afterwards another at
        Crakow. In other provinces of the kingdom of Poland he founded four
        others, and it passeth belief what success he had with all kinds of
        men, by his preaching of the Word of God, and the innocency of his
        life. Not a day passed wherein he did not display some bright gift of
        faith, godliness, or innocency.


        The zeal of this most holy man for the salvation of his neighbors was
        that which God marked by His greatest miracles. Among these is
        famous the time when coming to the River Vistula near Wisgrade, and
        finding it in flood, he crossed it without a boat, drawing over also
        his three companions standing upon the waves upon his outspread
        mantle. He led a wonderful life for nearly forty years after his
        profession, and then foretold to his brethren the day of his death.
        Upon the very day of the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin, he
        finished the recitation of the Office of the Church, received the
        Sacraments with the utmost reverence, and then with the words, Into
        thy hands, O Lord, gave up his soul to God in the year of salvation
        1257. He was illustrious for miracles even after his death, and Pope
        Clement VIII. numbered him among the saints.
