Tak on s monaxami poet.
No vot mezh nimi, gost` nezhdanny'j,
Naxmurya brovi, predstaet
Nastavnik stary'j Ioanna.
Surovy' strogie cherty',
Glavu pod``emlya velichavo:
"Pevecz, - on molvit, - tak li ty'
Blyudesh` i chtish` moi ustavy'?
Kogda pred nami bratnij prax,
Ne pet`, no plakat` nam pristojno!
Izy'di, inok nedostojny'j, -
Ne v nashix zhit` tebe stenax!"
I, gnevnoj rech`yu porazhenny'j,
Vinovny'j pal k ego nogam:
"Prosti, otecz! Ne znayu sam,
Kak prestupil tvoi zakony'!
Vo mne zvuchal nemolchny'j glas,
V neodolimoj serdcza muke
Nevol`no vy'rvalisya zvuki,
Nevol`no pesnya polilas`!"
I nogi starcza on ob``emlet:
"Prosti vinu moyu, otecz!"
No tot raskayan`yu ne vnemlet,
On govorit: "Begi, pevecz!
Dosel` zhitejskaya gordy'nya
Eshhe zhiva v tvoej grudi -
Ot nashix kelij otojdi,
Ne oskvernyaj soboj pusty'ni!"
