I
Икалось ли тебе, Наташа,
Когда шампанское я пил
Различных вкусов, свойств и видов,
Различных возрастов и сил,

Когда в воронежских подвалах
Я жадно поминал тебя,
Любя Наташу, поэтессу,
Да и шампанское любя?

Здесь бьёт Кастальский ключ, питая
Небаснословною струей;
Поэзия — здесь вещь ручная:
Пять франков дай — и пей и пой!
