Строфа 54

Два дня ему казались новы
Two days seemed him attractive newly

Уединенные поля,
The fields that far located were,

Прохлада сумрачной дубровы,
The oak grove that was cool so fully,

Журчанье тихого ручья;
The quiet murmur of brook’s flow;

На третий роща, холм и поле
On the third day hill, field and grove

Его не занимали боле;
Did him not take just never more;

Потом уж наводили сон;
Then did him make they really drowsed

Потом увидел ясно он,
And then so clearly he yet saw,

Что и в деревне скука та же,
That in the village bore’s the same

Хоть нет ни улиц, ни дворцов,
Though there’s no palaces, no streets,

Ни карт, ни балов, ни стихов.
No cards, no balls, no verses with.

Хандра ждала его на страже,
A spleen was his main feeling’s name

И бегала за ним она,
And after him ran that in strife

Как тень иль верная жена.
Like shadow or his faithful wife.
