{{centre|Любезнейший Василий Васильевич!}}
Посылаю тебе стихи вместо запрещённого текста Басмаиовского ариозо.

{{quote|<poem>Житье у нас! И умирать не надо.
Гульба, веселие; что день — то пир горой.

* * *
Роскошны светлые пиры.
В очах огонь, в умах похмелье;
До поздней вечера поры
Шумит-гудит у нас веселье!
Минует день... шумя крылом,
Слетает тихий полог ночи
И сладострастным, чудным сном
Усталые смыкает очи!</poem>}}

Разумеется, прежние стихи были лучше, но что же делать. Отвечай, ради Бога, насчёт корректуры моих романсов и ужасного слова ''кутишь'' в № 5-ом.

{{centre|Most gracious [[Vasily Vasilyevich]]!}}
I'm sending you verses to replace the prohibited text of Basmanov's arioso.

{{quote|<poem>Live with us! And you need not die.
Carouse, revel — come feast this day.

* * *
Sumptuous liqiud feasts.
Fire in the eyes, a hangover in the head;
Until late at night
And with our cheerful roar!
The day just flies by,
As night's veil draws in
And voluptuous, wonderful dreams
Tired eyes close!</poem>}}

Naturally the previous verses were better, but what's to be done. For God's sake reply concerning the proofreading of my romances and the awful word ''binge'' in No. 5.
