«Что? Приглашенья?
В самом деле,
Три дома на вечер зовут:
Там будет бал, там детский праздник.
Куда ж поскачет мой проказник?
С кого начнет он? Всё равно:
Везде поспеть немудрено.
Покамест в утреннем уборе,
Надев широкий боливар,
Онегин едет на бульвар
И там гуляет на просторе,
Пока недремлющий брегет
Не прозвонит ему обед» (1, XIII-XIV, 10).
“What? Invitations? Yes, three houses
Have asked him to a grand soiree.
There’ll be a ball, a children’s party;
Where will he dash to, my good hearty?
Where will he make the night’s first call?
Oh, never mind—he’ll make them all.
But meanwhile, dressed for morning pleasure,
Bedecked in broad-brimmed Bolivar,
He drives to Nevsky Boulevard,
To stroll about at total leisure,
Until Breguet’s unsleeping chime” (Chapter 1, Stanza 13-14, Page 10).
