Friend.
Yes, Glory to the whims free to.
As the fiery language, she
According to elect the head of flies,
On the one today disappears
And on the other already visible.
For the novelty run humbly
People accustomed to senseless;
But we certainly something sacred brow,
Over whom he broke this language.

between citizens on the other chrede
From now, all the elect who Bole

When's your mind he strikes
His Wonderful Star?
Then l, how he looks to Alps
At the bottom of the Italian saint;
Then there, as the lack banner
Ile dictatorial rod; then l,
As the leads and the circle and the distance

And flies a number of victories
Above him the other one followed suit;
Then l, as an army hero splashes
Before hromadoy Pyramid,
Or as Moscow deserted shine.

Queen diseases ... he,
Rebuke death surrounded,

To encourage extinguished eyes,

Whatever the verdict
Earth blind ...

Dreams of the poet -
Historian rigorous driving you!
Alas! his voice rang, —
And where enchantment of light!
Poet.

He caters to idle! - Not!
Darkness low truths dearer
We elevates deception ...
Be the hero of the heart! What
He will be without? Tyrant…
