Thou also, reader generous, + 

The chaise long ordered please employ, + 

Abandon cities riotous, + 

Which in the winter were a joy: + 

The Muse capricious let us coax, + 

Go hear the rustling of the oaks + 

Beside a nameless rivulet, + 

Where in the country Eugene yet, + 

An idle anchorite and sad, + 

A while ago the winter spent, + 

Near young Tattiana resident, + 

My pretty self-deceiving maid⁠— + 

No more the village knows his face, + 

For there he left a mournful trace. + 
