Строфа 14
There was no friendship quite among us.
Все предрассудки истребя,
All prejudices bloting out,
Мы почитаем всех нулями,
We estimated all like zeros,
А единицами — себя.
Like units just yourself who’s up.
Мы все глядим в Наполеоны;
We all did want to be Napoleons;
Двуногих тварей миллионы
Two-legged beings who were many millions
Для нас орудие одно;
For us as an obedient gun;
Нам чувство дико и смешно.
A sense for us was only fun.
Сноснее многих был Евгений;
Friend Eugene was more broad than others;
Хоть он людей, конечно, знал
Though people he of course did know
И вообще их презирал, -
And most of them he did ignore, -
Но (правил нет без исключений)
But (rules without breach were rather)
Иных он очень отличал
Some persons he did single out
И вчуже чувство уважал.
And their senses took in fact.
