«Но в городах, по деревням
Ещё мазурка сохранила
Первоначальные красы:
Припрыжки, каблуки, усы
Всё те же: их не изменила
Лихая мода, наш тиран,
Недуг новейших россиян» (5, XLII, 128).
1. “But in small town and countryside
The old mazurka hasn’t faltered;
It still retains its pristine joys:
Moustaches, leaps, heel-pounding noise
Remain the same; they’ve not been altered
By tyrant-fashion’s high decrees,
The modern Russian’s new disease” (Chapter 5, Stanza 42, Page 128).
