«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).
