Here is an excerpt from "Pan Tadeusz: The Last Foray in Lithuania" (English translation) written by Adam Mickiewicz in 1834:
http://leonardkress.com/Pan%20Tadeusz.pdf - from page 89/277
"The Judge unlocked a special liquor trunk;
from the protruding necks he chose a flask,
a fine crystal gift from the Bernardine monk.
Gdansk Vodka - he said - and no hard task
for Pole to drink. Long live Gdansk! - he shouted,
raising his stein. Gdansk was once our town,
and so will be again. The vodka spouted
a silver arc as he poured it around,
till only golden leaves glowed on the ground."

Poles paid back to Germans in 1311, killing German burghers in Krakow.
