Читать книгу Евгений Онегин / Eugene Onegin - Александр Сергеевич Пушкин, Александр Пушкин, Pushkin Aleksandr - Страница 47

I have attracted your attention

To his attires in last taste

And planned to show the modern fashion

By it’s description in details;

Of course, it would be pretty fearless,

To give descriptions is my business,

But pantaloons, frack[11] and gilet[12],

I can’t collect in Russian, yet;

And I confess to you with shame

That my, besides all that, poor style

I am diluting time to time

With alien to my homeland names,

Though, in the old days I, not once,

Over the dictionary glanced.
