«Кто прежней Тани, бедной Тани

Теперь в княгине б не узнал!

В тоске безумных сожалений

К её ногам упал Евгений;

Она вздрогнула и молчит,

И на Онегина глядит» (8, XLI, 207). 


“And in the princess then, who wouldn’t

Have known poor Tanya from the past!

Mad with regret and anguished feeling,

Eugene fell down before her, kneeling;

She shuddered, but she didn’t speak,

Just looked at him—her visage bleak” (Chapter 8, Stanza 41, Page 207).
