Na piru
Language: Russian (Русский)
Chem gromche prazdny'j pir shumit vokrug menya, Chem yarche nagly'j blesk ognej ego py'laet, Tem besprosvetnee v grudi toska moya, Tem bezuteshnee dusha vpot`max ry'daet! Mne chuditsya, beda velikaya blizka! No postupi ee eshhe nikto ne sly'shit, Mezh tem kak na stene uzhe sud`by' ruka "Mani. Fakel. Fares", - neutomimo pishet. Eshhe ne gryanul grom nad p`yanoyu tolpoj, Eshhe ne prervan gam piruyushhego xora, A v otkrovenii zloveshhem predo mnoj Ves` uzhas viditsya suda i prigovora. I kriknut` xochetsya: "Ochnites`! Kazn` idet!" No vopl` v ustax moix bessil`no zamiraet. I gromche vse tolpa likuet i poet, I yarche vse vokrug bezumny'j mir py'laet.
Note for stanza 2, line 4: this is a reference to Chapter 5 in the Book of Daniel (Belshazzar's Feast).
