Е. Онегин, гл. 1, XXY - пер. А. С. Пушкина
XXY
You may be businessman in a good state,
But think about nails, as ever.
You try to dispute with a century,
But still traditions are in favour.
As the second Chaadayev, my Eugene
(* Chaadayev is the hero of Griboyedov's poem "Grief from the wit")
In order not to be blamed in envy,
Was a pedant in his attire,
He was said to be dandy, rather.
For more than three hours he stood
Before the mirrors, after look
He went out as Venus, flying,
When she, dressed in a male's costume,
Was going to masquerade so soon.
