Know this: not to make enemies, as his duty, it is impossible.
Free, honest, simple you started your way
The Minister be managed - so a man!
And don't be ashamed, your new post appreciating,
Friends of old you and including me.
Go your path in the service of his native country,
So our friendship does not have to be ashamed of me.

The soul, wandering flame!
You warmed my chest,
And now light wings
My guest, fly in the opposite way?
Where you now dwell,
In the bleak edges - what?
Tossing, shaking, you die;
The merriment ceased, the laughter died down!
Ah! Fleeting Spirit! wand'ring of Fire,
That long hast warm'd my tender Breast,
Must thou no more this Frame inspire?
No more a pleasing, chearful Guest?
Whither, ah whither art thou flying!
To what dark, undiscover'd Shore?
Thou seem'st all trembling, shiv''ring, dying,
And Wit and Humour are no more!

That is their nature - and science.
Bestow passion and therefore, passion is not a flour;
They oppress, they sometimes swear
But only in the passion of the power they take.
Husband's downs, the glory,
A female - only fun.
Husband appreciates the Days of Peace, Days of Works,
And the woman only flatterers.
Here women's original legacy:
The whole purpose of the power, the beauty, all of it.
Captivate the whole world in his youth, they
And in the old curse of former days.
Quote Explanation: Translated By V. Toporov.

In his slip of the tongue you were right
Nature is not you. Most.
We are not to become entangled in the signs,
You divide into blondes and brunettes.
<...>
Our variegated friend, like flowers.
Not whether diversity is the root of beauty?
And even the delicate flaws
Their ardent admirers welcome.
<...>
However, the life of men is reputed public,
And women succeed in their personal.
Our talents need a light day
And your becoming to partial shade.
You are a true child of the masquerade
Where shame and pride to distinguish is not necessary,
Delight and weakness... valor and Vice,
Same to you, never to rebuke.
Quote Explanation: Translated By V. Toporov.
