XLII + 

But nothing changed in them is seen, + 

All in the good old style appears, + 

Our dear old aunt, Princess Helène, + 

Her cap of tulle still ever wears: + 

Luceria Lvovna paint applies, + 

Amy Petrovna utters lies, + 

Ivan Petròvitch still a gaby, + 

Simeon Petròvitch just as shabby; + 

Pélagie Nikolavna has + 

Her friend Monsieur Finemouche the same, + 

Her wolf-dog and her husband tame; + 

Still of his club he member was⁠— + 

As deaf and silly doth remain, + 

Still eats and drinks enough for twain. + 
