Читать книгу Евгений Онегин / Eugene Onegin - Александр Сергеевич Пушкин, Александр Пушкин, Pushkin Aleksandr - Страница 52

In days of revels and sensations

The balls to me made great delight,

It was right place for declarations,

For handling letters perfect site.

Oh, you, an honorable spouse!

I am appealing to your nous,

Please, listen to me and be wise,

I call you to oppose the vice.

And you, the mothers, be more strict

And to your daughters pay attention,

Keep your lorgnette at right direction,

Or, what can be? … Oh, God forbid!

I write these lines one reason for,

Since I am not a sinner more.
