Often, I often talked
With the talker of the country Hellenic
And do not dare hoarseness
With Shapelenom and Rifmatovym
Sing the heroes of the north.
peerless Virgil
I read and reread,
Not trying to imitate him
The tender feelings and harmony.
I judged the German Klopstock
And he could not understand the wise!
I did not want to sing, How is he;
I want, to understand me
Everything from small to large.
Milton and Kamoénsom
I feared no krill soar;
I did not dare in the verses of meaningless
Cherubim fry guns,
Satan may dwell in paradise,
Or the Holy Virgin
Together with praise APHRODITE.
I have never been sinner!
but yesterday, archives royasya,
I found a nice book,
gold, the unforgettable,
catechism wit,
in short: Joan Orleans
I read, - and in awe
About Bova sing prince.
About Voltaire! about the only husband!
You, which in France
Revered god nekiim,
In Rome, the devil, Antichrist
Monkey in Saxony!
You, which is Radishcheva
He was thrown gaze with a smile,
Now be mine muzoyu!
I also set out to sing,
But whether equalized with Radishchev?
I do not remember, many years later
After Christmas Savior,
Dadon king reigned with glory
In Svetomir, a strong city.
Dadon king crown with a scepter
I not pulled straight the way,
But killing the king's laws,
Bendokira feebleminded.
(So happened loyalty
Styled kings their,
If kings careless,
Not in bed and not at night
Rested with kamergerami).
Tsar Dadon is not feeble-minded
Was worthy of an evil nickname,
But the tyrant vigilant,
Although, however, had his.
Laziness to me all his dignity
And you show defects:
Have you heard, kind people,
About care, that as many as twenty years
Not taking off his weapons,
I do not get down from his horse zealous,
Throughout flew to victory,
World baptized drowned in blood,
Spared and unbaptized,
And decayed into nothingness
Alexander, a formidable angel,
Life spent in humiliation
AND, forgotten by all, summoning
Now the Emperor of Elba: —
Here is this something was the king Dadon.
Time, collecting bearded advice
(Beardless disliked Dadon),
On the throne become sad,
He said in a speech to them:
“You, that councils
Alleviate the severity of the scepter
Delight fate of the royal
(Not bitter it was him),
wise friends, companions!
To you I have recourse to solve:
What do I do now? - Listen”.
all stood, it is important to frown,
Low, kowtow
AND, tweak the mustache and beard,
We sat on the oak bench.
“you know, - continued Dadon, —
That art and unrighteousness
I reached a shaky throne
Bendokira feebleminded,
Combined with Militrisa,
Cute little wife Bendokirovoy,
And in the dungeon planted Bova,
blood Prince, son of the king.
Easier, it was easier to capture
Idiot golden crown,
Than, wearing a crown on his head,
For him to keep his.
For people senseless,
Walking in the streets of holidays,
Among themselves many times used to say:
May God grant to help the prince.
After all, is not a small Bova,
Not in his father Her head,
no need, that behind bars,
It is dangerous to my designs.
What do I do with it? tell me,
Do not leave him in prison?”
All assemblies thoughtful,
All in silence with downcast eyes.
This-this, right, gold Council!
Not talking here, and thought:
Arzamor, old husband, experienced,
Mouth was opened (advise
I wanted to know grayer),
loud grunt, but changed his mind
And in silence biting tongue.
Forehead finger bailiffs carefully,
doctor glorious, grandson Aesculapius,
Ezeldorf, obrityi Schwab, yawning,
Tabakerkoyu poskrыpыval,
but silent, - its wisdom
He did not show before all.
Vihromah, Polkan with Dubyna,
guard throne, glorious knight,
All were, if dug.
Gromoburь, known by the power of,
But mind bleary-eyed,
thought, I thought and accidentally
I dozed off ... and snoring in the corner.
What better example of acts?
That people turn their stronger?
Here yawned under gloves
Brave Mirovzor with Ivashka,
And Polkan, Arzamor and gray ...
And to the chest should bow
Quiet heads violent ...
Lo and behold, Dadon fell asleep with advice ...
Snoring much-myslyaschi!
Long sleep had advisors,
If the Germans did not have to hand out
Snuffbox to drop to the floor.
Tabakerka pokatilasya
And on the spur of a sudden hit
Gromoburя, sleeping soundly,
thundered, razdvoilasya,
I flew in different directions ...
Brave warrior wakes,
Look around all the congregation ...
Meanwhile tobacco crumbled,
To the nose lifts Knight,
And I sneezed hero with vexation,
So that the vaults are shaken,
Okny all shaking and pouring,
And Hinged doors slam ...
awakens meeting!
“What is there to think, - I cried the hero: —
King! We'll skewer you do not,
Well, and to hell with Prince!
agreed: him alive not be.
After, brothers, judge between you,
How ought to part with him”.
Meanwhile, and finished: brave warrior
Speech like laconically.
“Okay! we hear you, —
The king remarked, reaching, —
Tomorrow, other, we'll see.
Now go all home”.
Blundered Dadon reprieve.
Not repeating it right in Morse:
Do not put off until tomorrow,
What can today perform.
Send out all the courtiers.
Night meanwhile already thickening,
Tsar Dadon will lay in the royal
Together couple with sweet leg,
With incomparable Militrisa,
But he turned his back to her:
That night, His Majesty
Do not play, and sleepy.
Militrisina sluzhanochka,
Zoe, young girl,
as Angel, eye, face,
white handle, tender feet,
With Mrs. removing the silk dress,
skirt, .Vdovushkin, tape, lace,
All turnkey hid in the chest
And she went quietly in the maiden.
There she Forums,
He raised the difficulty the window
And I went to bed feather,
Expecting another nice,
Svetozar, a page of the king:
By the dark at night, he promised
Jump out the window to her room.
waits, pozhdet girl red:
Not, as there is still another lovely.
Chu! beats midnight - what Zoinka?
See - come to her through the window ...
who? whether each tender heart?
Not! not at all, readers!
Il sees the shadow of the old ghost
Vencenosca, long caps,
The robe instead of the mantle,
belted a washcloth,
View innocent, eyes bulging
Rot inutile, teeth grin,
The ears are long, donkey
Above the shoulders loud clap;
Zoe sees with trepidation
she learns, readers,
Bendokira feebleminded.
tremulous, full of confusion.
Knelt Zoinka,
Sъedynyla pen with pen,
She lowered her eyes clear
I read swift whisper
Then, vvek that I could not learn:
Our Father and the Virgin,
And tihohonko murmured:
“What I see? God! Lord ...
About Nikola! Sawa martyr!
Osen bezzashtitnuyu.
Is that you, our king father?
From what, tell, I left you
Now the kingdom of heaven?”
Silly laugh osvetivshisya,
Shadow advertisements beautiful Zoinke:
“Zoe, Zoe, be not dismayed, my light,
Not to scare you I want,
In fact, I was here
Since ghost light. —
Fun to scare people alive,
But can I have fun,
Estli son Bendokirova,
Bova sweet prince,
Roasted at the stake tomorrow?”
Poor king cried plaintively.
It hurts to become a good girl.
“How can I, tell, help you.
I'm all over you pokorstvuyu”.
– “That's what I want, Zoynka!
Son rescued from prison,
And in the house itself is grim
Sit down on the seat of Prince,
Affected you for the innocent.
Worship thee nizehonko
And I say: thank, Zoynka!”
Zoynka here pryzadumalas:
Thank you for sitting in a dark pit!
It's tough it seemed.
But, having tender feelings,
Zoe secret consent
Such proposal.
So, you're right, France oracle,
speaking, that wives, weak
Against the arrows of Eros the young,
All of them have a good soul,
Heart gently unfeigned.
“But tell, O king lover!
Zoe rumor deceased: —
How I can (Well, judge for you yourself)
Zip into a dungeon gloomy,
Where grieving your dear son?
Fifty chosen warriors
Day and night guard him.
I Do, weak timid woman,
Deceive their eyes watchful?”
“Be at peace, case there,
Swear only just cute,
Do not reject this case,
If he be presented to you”.
"I swear!"- said the girl.
Suddenly disappeared ghost,
From the window quickly taking off
Sighing softly Zoinka
Then I lowered the window
And in bed reassured
soon, soon forgotten dream.
