Monument
I have erected a monument wondrous, eternal,
Metals harder than he above the pyramids;
Neither his whirlwind, nor the thunder will break fleeting,
And the flight time cannot destroy it.
Okay!- I won't die all, but part of me is big.,
From the ashes escaped the death will live,
And glory will increase my, not fading,
Docol Slavs rod universe will honor.
The hearing will be held about me from White water to Black,
Where the Volga, don, Neva, pouring Riphean Ural;
Everyone will remember the peoples boundless,
How from obscurity I famous was,
First I dared in an amusing Russian syllable
On the virtues of Felice cry,
In the heart easy to talk about God
And truth to tsars with a smile to say.
O Muse! be proud of merit fair,
And those who despise you, despise those myself;
Relaxed hand unhurried
Thy forehead dawn of immortality or the ruby.
