«но с головы до ног
Никто бы в ней найти не мог
Того, что модой самовластной
В высоком лондонском кругу
Зовется vulgar» (8, XV, 192).
“But neither did her form contain,
From head to toe, the slightest strain
Of what, with fashion’s sense of duty,
The London social sets decry
As vulgar” (Chapter 8, Stanza 15, Page 192).
