      Одна маленькая похвала женщины для меня дороже целого дифирамба со стороны мужчины, будь мужчина сей красноречив, как все древние ораторы, взятые вместе.
      Odna malenʹkaja poxvala ženščiny dlja menja dorože celovo difiramba so storony mužčiny, budʹ mužčina sej krasnorečiv, kak vse drevnije oratory, vzjatyje vmeste.
      Nowadays a little crumb of praise from a woman is dearer to me than a whole dithyramb from a man, even though he be more eloquent than all the ancient and modern orators put together.
