| Зодчий! Лицедейка и мусикийская певунья приказала предупредить, что сегодня не будет дома, но очень просит быть у ней завтра. Итак, будем с тобой у ней завтра; если же нет, то есть, если не можешь, то дай знать. Впрочем, ты меня застанешь сегодня дома, если желаешь видеть, дабы уговориться.
Мусикиец |
Architect! The actress and singer of music instructs me to warn that she will not be at home today, but urges you to be with her tomorrow. Thus, you and I shall be visit her tomorrow; unless, that is, you cannot, then let me know. Anyway, you will find me at home today, if you want to see me to make arrangements.
Musician |
