«Сквозь тесный ряд аристократов,
Военных франтов, дипломатов,
И гордых дам она скользит;
Вот села тихо и глядит,
Любуясь шумной теснотою,
Мельканьем платьев и речей,
Явленьем медленным гостей
Перед хозяйкой молодою» (8, VI, 187).
“Through ranks of men from highborn classes,
Past diplomats and soldier-fops,
And haughty dames…then calmly stops
To sit and watch the grand procession—
The gowns, the talk, the milling mass,
The slow parade of guests who pass
Before the hostess in succession” (Chapter 8, Stanza 6, Page 187).
