Мне сегодня посвятили даже Оду!

Произведение моего друга:

"Ode to Nika”

More splendid than Hermitage, more glorious than the gold rooms,
To what should I compare the flower so rare?
Its fragrance enriched my muse with the heights of spirit,
Empowered my tongue and fingers to describe very clear.
Neither shortcoming nor defect, either in stature or in demeanour,
The uncrowned queen, prettier than Cathrine, in my thoughts every where.
The depth of the seas in the eyes drowned me deep to ponder,
About the human nature so touching and fair .
Oh, what a look ,and walk, and talk and the joy it gives!
The pleasure it leaves upon my mind too sheer.
Would that I could reach the sky to lay my hands upon the stars !
I would have brought to thy lap so sure.
If this world be in my fist with all its bounties,
I would have bestowed upon to prove my love by swear.
What a creature! the art of God, the Angelic features with sudden appearance,
Enlightened my mind and sweetened my dreams so pure.
Obviously moulded from the clay in human form with mortal nature,
I hereby made immortalize, thee, to my heart so dear. ?

By you friend, O.M.
