      Velíkoje čúdo býlo v tom, što šestʹ korabléj poká šli, i ješčó bólʹšeje čúdo, što béšenaja síla búri ne razmetála ix po tjómnomu kipjáščemu mórju.
      It was a great miracle that six ships were still sailing ahead, and an even greater miracle that the raging power of the storm had not scattered them across the dark, seething sea.

      Buri nas vsex pozovut, / V more geroi ujdut.
