Tak on s monachami poet.
No vot mež nimi, gost' neždannyj,
Nachmurja brovi, predstaet
Nastavnik staryj Ioanna.
Surovy strogie čerty,
Glavu pod"emlja veličavo:
"Pevec, - on molvit, - tak li ty
Bljudeš' i čtiš' moi ustavy?
Kogda pred nami bratnij prach,
Ne pet', no plakat' nam pristojno!
Izydi, inok nedostojnyj, -
Ne v našich žit' tebe stenach!"
I, gnevnoj reč'ju poražennyj,
Vinovnyj pal k ego nogam:
"Prosti, otec! Ne znaju sam,
Kak prestupil tvoi zakony!
Vo mne zvučal nemolčnyj glas,
V neodolimoj serdca muke
Nevol'no vyrvalisja zvuki,
Nevol'no pesnja polilas'!"
I nogi starca on ob"emlet:
"Prosti vinu moju, otec!"
No tot raskajan'ju ne vnemlet,
On govorit: "Begi, pevec!
Dosel' žitejskaja gordynja
Ešče živa v tvoej grudi -
Ot našich kelij otojdi,
Ne oskvernjaj soboj pustyni!"
