- “Отчизне кубок сей, друзья! Страна, где мы впервые Вкусили сладость бытия, Поля, холмы родные, Родного неба милый свет, Знакомые потоки, Златые игры первых лет И первых лет уроки, Что вашу прелесть заменит? О родина святая, Какое сердце не дрожит, Тебя благословляя?”
- “Раз в крещенский вечерок Девушки гадали: За ворота башмачок, Сняв с ноги, бросали; Снег пололи; под окном Слушали; кормили Счетным курицу зерном; Ярый воск топили; В чашу с чистою водой Клали перстень золотой, Серьги изумрудны; Расстилали белый плат И над чашей пели в лад Песенки подблюдны.”

Прикажете ль, уши Дам отрезать себе, чтобы, в летнее время хлопушкой Вам усердно служа, колотили они дерзновенных Мух, досаждающих вам неотступной своею любовью?”

Encyclopedic overview
Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky (Russian: Василий Андреевич Жуковский; 9 February [O.S. 29 January] 1783 – 24 April [O.S. 12 April] 1852) was the foremost Russian poet of the 1810s and a leading figure in Russian literature in the first half of the 19th century. He held a high position at the Romanov court as tutor to the Grand Duchess Alexandra Feodorovna and later to her son, the future tsar Alexander II.
Zhukovsky is credited with introducing the Romantic movement into Russia. The main body of his literary output consists of free translations covering an impressively wide range of poets, from ancients like Ferdowsi and Homer to his contemporaries Goethe, Schiller, Byron, and others. Many of his translations have become classics of Russian literature, regarded by some to be better written and more enduring in Russian than in their original languages.
