question
meaning
X+これを久しゅう meaning
In this case,

「[久]{ひさ}しい」＝「[長]{なが}い」 (temporal > spatial)

> 「Noun + これ + (を) + 久しゅうする」 means:
>
> "to do (noun) for a long time"

In real life, however, we mostly use this phrase with a limited number of
nouns whose meanings are related to " _ **exclamation**_ " such as
「[感嘆]{かんたん}」、「[慨嘆]{がいたん}」、「[三嘆]{さんたん}」, etc. This is elegant speech, if you
are wondering.

> = "to be amazed for a long time"

Regarding the 「しゅう」 part, you will hear 「よろしゅう」 to mean 「よろしく」 at least in
Kansai if not in Kanto. It is a remnant of Classical Japanese.

answer
感歎これを久しゅうした = 感歎(wonderment but 感嘆 is common) + これ(感歎のこと)を + 久しゅう(久しく is the
連用形 of adjective 久しい which means "for a long time" and 久しゅう is a dialect of
久しく) + した

It means I felt admiration for a long time. However this sentence was used at
a long time ago, it is rarely used now.
