«Вошел: и пробка в потолок,
Вина кометы брызнул ток,
Пред ним roast-beef окровавленный,
И трюфли, роскошь юных лет,
Французской кухни лучший цвет,
И Стразбурга пирог нетленный» (1, XVI, 11).
“He enters—cork and bottle spout!
The comet wine comes gushing out,
A bloody roastbeef’s on the table,
And truffles, youth’s delight so keen,
The very flower of French cuisine,
And Strasbourg pie, that deathless fable” (Chapter 1, Stanza 16, Page 11).
