- Так ду́мал молодо́й пове́са,
Летя́ в пыли́ на почтовы́х,
Всевы́шней во́лею Зеве́са
Насле́дник всех свои́х родны́х.- Tak dúmal molodój povésa,
Letjá v pylí na počtovýx,
Vsevýšnej vóleju Zevésa
Naslédnik vsex svoíx rodnýx. - Reflecting thus, a youthful scapegrace,
By lofty Zeus’s will the heir
Of all his kinsfolk, in a post-chaise,
Flew headlong through the dusty air.
