Читать книгу Евгений Онегин / Eugene Onegin - Александр Сергеевич Пушкин, Александр Пушкин, Pushkin Aleksandr - Страница 11

We all did study with no straining

The useless subjects anyhow,

Thus, thanks to God, to show good training

Makes just no difficulty now.

Onegin was by view of many

(Who judge severely, but fairly)

A scholar, but a prig, as well,

He had a talent, I can tell,

With no compulsion simply chatting

To touch a subject quite a bit,

And just like knowing all of it

To remain silent when debating,

And to arose the ladies smile

By sudden epigrams’ brisk style.
