Читать книгу Евгений Онегин / Eugene Onegin - Александр Сергеевич Пушкин, Александр Пушкин, Pushkin Aleksandr - Страница 43

Carved amber from Constantinople,

Bronze on the table, chinaware,

Perfume in stylish cut-glass bottle

(A pleasure for effete young man),

Steel files for nails and combs for hair,

A set of scissors, curved and straight,

The brushes more than thirty breeds

To polish nails and brush the teeth.

Russo (to mention passing that)

Got really mad, when pompous Grim

Dared polish nails in front of him,

Romantic eloquent madcap.

The liberty and rights defender

This time was wrong that way to render.
