Tattiana! sweet Tattiana, see! + 

What bitter tears with thee I shed! + 

Thou hast resigned thy destiny + 

Unto a ruthless tyrant dread. + 

Thou’lt suffer, dearest, but before, + 

Hope with her fascinating power + 

To dire contentment shall give birth + 

And thou shalt taste the joys of earth. + 

Thou’lt quaff love’s sweet envenomed stream, + 

Fantastic images shall swarm + 

In thy imagination warm, + 

Of happy meetings thou shalt dream, + 

And wheresoe’er thy footsteps err, + 

Confront thy fated torturer! + 
