And nowadays in a victim I bring,
When people in sobrani much

And so friends my name is,
Happened, eight versts purposely
To me of nothing the way, cost
To visit on benefit performance,
.v ladoshi to clap to that actress,
Which could inhale
Delight to me in an ardent breast.
Theatre a spark vsplamenjalas
And gradually inflamed
In my enthusiastic breast...
