Miller , his daughter.
M e n s and n
Oh, That's all you, young girls,
All of you are stupid. If we are turned up
To you people enviable, not easy,
So you should strengthen its Statement.
With what? reasonable, honest behavior;
To lure the rigor, the kindness;
Sometimes subtly circumlocutions
The wedding zagovarivatʹ, - a forest
Keep your maiden honor -
priceless treasure; she is -
The word - just miss, not be undone.
And if there is a wedding really hope,
All the same, at least you can
Any profit themselves - il favor
Native to gain; think should be:
"Do not ever f will he love me
And pamper me ". - Well no! where
You think of doing good! incidentally eh?
You immediately odureete; you are happy
To fulfill the whims of his gift;
Ready all day to hang around the neck
In a cute boyfriend, - a dear friend
You look and disappeared, and trace; and you
Left with nothing. Oh, all of you are stupid!
I told you a hundred times:
Hey, A d h s, look; do not be such a fool,
You will not miss his happiness,
Do not miss you prince, da casual
Do not destroy itself. - Well came?..
Now let sit cry forever about,
What could not be undone.
A d h s
Why then
You think, that he said to me,?
M e n s and n
How why? but how many times, happened,
In a week, he the mill Drive?
BUT? every single day, and sometimes
And twice a day - and there is less and less, rarely
I began to come - and this is the ninth day,
As we did not see it. What do you say?
A d h s
He is busy; l little he cares?
He did not Melnik - for it will not be
water work. He often repeats,
That all the labors of his works are heavier.
M e n s and n
Yes, believe him. When working Princes,
And their labor? poison foxes and hares,
to pirovatь, Yes offend neighbors,
Yes incite you, poor fools.
He works, where as it is a pity!
And for me the water!.. and I rest
neither day, no night there, Then we'll see:
here, there is still need repair,
where rot, where the flow. Now, if you're the prince
I was able to elicit the restructuring
Although some some money, It would be better.
A d h s

A d h s
Brother, Finally you remember me!
Do not you feel ashamed as long torment
I empty cruel with expectation?
What I had not occurred?
How do myself, I fear not scared?
That thought, that the horse has brought you
The swamp or abyss, the bear
You in the forest primeval beat,
What are you sick, that no longer loves me -
But thank God! you alive, unscathed
And like everything is still me;
Isn't it fair??
K n I b
Still, my angel,
Not, more than ever.

When you are hilarious, from afar to me
Hurry and klichesh: where is my darling,
What does it? and then kiss
and asked counsel: Council eh I love you
And do you expect so early.
And now: listen to me, you silence,

Already at me if you are not angry?

You see, By mp n I is not free,
As girls, they are not the heart
Take yourself a wife ... and they willingly,
Probably, beckon, swear, cry
And talk: I'll take you
In my light tower, the secret Svetlitsa
And dressed in brocade and velvet scarlet.
They willingly teach poor girls
From midnight to whistle their climb
And before dawn to sit for the mill.
They are a pleasure to entertain the prince's heart
our troubles, and then goodbye,
Go, darling, wherever you want,
Love, who conspired to.
M e n s and n
That's the problem.
A d h s
But who is his bride? whom
He traded me? so I know,
I'll get. I will tell her, villain:
Get away from the prince, - see, dve volcixi

Fool!
Well, if K n i s h takes a bride,
Who can stop him? That's just.
Did I not tell you ...
A d h s
And he could,
As a good person, to me to say goodbye,
And I give gifts - what! —
And money! to redeem himself, he thought,
He wanted me silvered tongue,
That did not pass it on bad reputation
And he did not reach the young wife.
Yes, I mean, I forgot - you give
He ordered the silver, for it,
What I was X on Rosh you to him, that her daughter
I blew him to hang, what her
Not strictly kept in store ... you go

Before that I lived!
That God gave to hear! sin you
So bitterly reproach a father.
One child you have me in the world,
One consolation of my old age.
As I'm not spoiling?

I have fulfilled my father's debt.
