by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Laisa Venere, posvyashhaya ej svoyo zerkalo
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vot zerkalo moyo -- primi ego, Kiprida! Boginya krasoty' prekrasna budet vvek, Sedogo vremeni ne strashna ej obida: Ona -- ne smertny'j chelovek; No ya, pokorstvuya sud`bine, Ne v silax zret` sebya v prozrachnosti stekla, Ni toj, kotoroj ya by'la, Ni toj, kotoroj ny'ne.
