God like Tsarevna	A
Of the Kirgiz Kaisatskii horde	B
Whose wisdom matchless	C
Opened the true path	D
To young Prince Khlor	E
To go up on that high peak	F
Where the rose without thorns grows	C
Where virtue dwells	C
It takes my spirit and mind prisoner	E
Tell me how to find it	G
	-
Tell me Felitsa	C
How to live opulently yet justly	H
How to subdue the storm of passions	C
And be happy in the world	I
Your voice wakes me	H
Your son sends me	H
But to follow them I am too weak	F
Disturbed by everyday trifles	C
Today I control myself	J
But tomorrow am slave to desires	C
	-
Not emulating your courtiers	C
You often go on foot	K
And the most simple food	L
Is on your table	M
Inexpensive is your rest	N
You read you write before the candle	M
And to all mortals from your pen	A
Bliss flows	C
Just so at cards you do not play	O
Like me from morning to morning	P
	-
You do not much like masquerades	C
And put not even a foot inside a club	Q
Guarding your habits and customs	C
You do not act as a Don Quixote	H
The horse of Parnassus you do not saddle	M
To spirits in s ances you do not go	R
You do not go from your throne to the East	S
But walking on the path of meekness	C
With gracious soul	T
You spend a stream of useful days	C
	-
But I having slept until noon	A
Smoke tobacco and drink coffee	H
Changing into holidays weekdays	C
I wander in the chimeras of my thoughts	C
Now booty from Persians I steal	U
Now arrows at Turks I send	V
Now having dreamt that I am the sultan	A
The universe I terrorize with a glance	C
Now suddenly captivated by an outfit	G
I ride to the tailor for a caftan	A
	-
Or I am at a sumptuous feast	S
Where a celebration for me is given	A
Where shines the table with silver and gold	W
Where there are thousands of varied dishes	C
There the famed Westphalian ham	X
There links of Astrakhan fish	Y
There pilaf and pies sit	G
With champagne I wash down waffles	C
And everything on the earth forget	Z
Among wines sweets and aromas	C
	-
Or in a beautiful little grove	A2
In a summerhouse where a fountain speaks	C
With the sounds of a sweet voiced harp	B2
Where a little wind barely breathes	C
Where everything presents me luxury	H
To pleasures my thoughts entices	C
Soothes and wakens my blood	C2
Resting on a velvet divan	A
A young girl s tender feelings	C
I pour into her heart love	D2
	-
Or with a splendid tandem	E2
In an English carriage golden	A
With a dog a fool or friend	V
Or with such a beauty	H
I drive under the swings	C
At pubs to drink mead I stop	F2
Or when it somehow bores me	H
Due to my inclination for change	G2
With my hat at a jaunty angle	M
I fly on a fast steed	H2
	-
Or with music and singers	C
With organ and bagpipes	C
Or with fist fighters	C
And the dance I delight my soul	T
Or all matters of care	E
Leaving behind I go out hunting	P
And amuse myself with the howls of dogs	C
Or over Neva banks	C
I amuse myself by night with horns	C
And the rowing of agile oarsmen	A
	-
Or sitting at home I horse around	I2
Playing Fool with my wife	J2
Now with her I climb to the dove cote	K2
Now at Blind Man's Bluff we frolic away the time	L2
Now we amuse ourselves at svaika	P
Now	A
Now I love to delve into books	C
My mind and heart I enlighten	A
Polkan and Bova I read	M2
Over the Bible yawning I sleep	N2
	-
In such ways Felitsa I am dissolute	M2
But all society resembles me	H
However much one is known for wisdom	E2
But all men are liars	C
We do not walk on paths of light	M2
We run after dreams of depravity	H
Between the Indolent and the Choleric	P
Between vanity and vice	C
One finds only by chance	C
The path to pure virtue	M2
	-
It is found but how may we not blunder	E
We weak mortals on that path	D
Where reason itself stumbles	C
And must go after passions	C
Where learned ignoramuses	C
Like mist does to travellers darken our minds	C
Everywhere temptations and flattery live	O2
All pashas luxury oppresses	C
Where does virtue live	O2
Where does the rose without thorns grow	R
	-
To you alone is it proper	E
Tsarevna to create light out of darkness	C
Dividing Chaos into harmonious spheres	C
With a union of wholeness to strenghten them	P2
From discord agreement	M2
And from violent passion happiness	C
You may alone create	M2
Like a sailor sailing across the sea	C
Catching under the sail a raging wind	M2
Is able to guide his ship	Q2
	-
Only you do not offend	M2
Do not insult anyone	A
Stupidity through your fingers you see	C
But do not allow evil	M
Miscreants you right with leniency	C
You do not stifle people like a wolf does a sheep	N2
You know their proper worth	R2
They are subject to the will of Tsars	C
But to the judgment of God even more	E
Living in their laws	C
	-
You soundly think of merits	C
To the worthy you give out honor	E
A prophet you do not consider	E
He who may onlyweave rhymes	C
And for such amusement of the mind	M2
Honor and praise to good caliphs	C
You are tolerant of the lyric key	C
Poetry is pleasing to you	M2
Acceptable sweet useful	M
Like in summer a tasty lemonade	M2
	-
Rumor passes of your acts	C
That you are not the least bit proud	M2
Kindly both in business and in fun	A
Pleasant in friendship and firm	S2
That you are indifferent to misfortune	A
And in glory so magnanimous	C
That you refused to be called Wise	C
They also say truthfully	C
That it is always possible	M
To tell you the truth	T2
	-
Such unheard of matters	C
Are only worthy of you	M2
That you boldly allow the people	M
Of all aloud or in secret	M2
Both to know and to think	P
And of yourself you do not forbid	M2
Truth and untruth to be said	M2
That you the very crocodiles	C
The Zoiluses of all your mercies	C
Always are prone to forgive	U2
	-
Pleasant rivers of tears flow	R
From the depths of my soul	T
O how happy people who	M2
Must be there with their fate	M2
Where a meek angel a peaceful angel	M
Clad in porphyry lightness	C
Holds the sceptre sent down from heaven	A
There it is possible to whisper in conversations	C
And not fearing punishment at dinner	E
To the health of the Tsar not drink	P
	-
There it is possible	M
To erase Felitsa's name	V2
Or her portrait carelessly	C
Drop on the ground	M2
There joke weddings they do not celebrate	M2
They do not steam people in icy baths	C
They do not pull at the moustaches of the belle monde	M2
Princes do not cackle like hens	C
Favorites do not laugh at them	P2
And smear their faces with soot	M2
	-
You know Felitsa the rights	C
Of both men and tsars	C
When you enlighten manners	C
You do not make fools of men	A
In your moments of rest from work	P
You write in tales to instruct	M2
And teach the alphabet to Khlor	E
quot Do nothing bad	M2
And the most evil satirist	M2
You will make a hated liar quot	M2
	-
You are ashamed to be called Great	M2
To be terrible unloved	M2
Only to a wild she bear is it becoming	P
To tear animals and drink their blood	M2
Without the misery of extreme fever	E
Need one have recourse to the lancet	M2
When one may get along without it	M2
And is it glorious to be a tyrant	M2
A great Tamerlane in cruelty	M2
For one great in goodness like God	M2
	-
Felitsa's glory is the glory of God	M2
Who pacified battles	C
Who orphans and the needy	M2
Sheltered clothed and fed	M2
Who with radiant eye	W2
To jokers cowards the ungrateful	M
And the just gives its light	M2
Equally enlightens all mortals	C
Calms and cures the sick	P
And does good for good's sake alone	A
	-
Who gave freedom	E2
To travel to other lands	C
Allowed its people	M
To search for solver and gold	M2
Who opens the waters	C
And does not forbid the cutting of woods	C
Who orders to weave and knit and sew	C
Freeing the mind and hands	C
Orders to love trade the sciences	C
And to find happiness at home	X2
	-
Whose law and right hand	M2
Give both mercy and justice	C
Announce most wise Felitsa	C
Where the villian is separated from the honest	M2
Where age does not wander through the world	M2
Merit finds its bread	M2
Where revenge does not drive anyone	A
Where conscience dwells with truth	T2
Where virtue shines	C
Truly at your throne	A
	-
But where does your throne shine in the world	M2
Where heavenly branch do you flower	E
In Bagdad Smyrna Kashmir	E
Listen wherever you live	O2
My prais	C
