He got the news all of a sudden

From estate manager’s report:

His uncle wants to say last pardon,

He’ll shortly leave the naughty world.

Had read this sad and grievous letter

Onegin didn’t postpone the matter

And started dashing post-chaise journey

Awaiting boredom and in yawning,

And, as I told in the beginning,

To suffer for the sake of money

The sighs, and tedium, and lying.

But when he reached the one, who’s dying,

He saw a body on the table,

As tribute to the ground ready.
