ОглавлениеThe thirst for goblets still requires
To quench the cutlets’ fiery fat,
But Breguet watch’s bell reminds:
The theatre a new ballet sets.
The stage’s vicious fashion maker,
The charming actresses’ caretaker,
The well-known youthful theatre sage
And honored dweller of backstage,
Onegin speeded to the theatre,
Where everyone feels free and sage
To hiss an actor off the stage,
To catcall Ph(a)edra, Cleopatra,
To call Moina[7] (to attract
Attention to himself by that).
