by Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky (1783 - 1852)

Paladin
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Izmenoj sluga paladina ubil:
Ubijce zaviden san rycarskij byl.
Sveršilos' ubijstvo nočnoju poroj –
I trup pogloščen byl glubokoj rekoj!

I špory i laty ubijca nadel,
I v nich na konja paladinova sel.
I most proskakat' na kone on spešit,
No kon' podnjalsja na dyby i chrapit.

On špory vonzaet v krutye boka,
Kon' bešenyj sbrosil v reku sedoka.
On vyplyt' iz vsech naprjagaetsja sil,
No pancir' tjaželyj ego utopil.
