XLIX + 

Full many a lovely star hath night + 

And Moscow many a beauty fair: + 

Yet clearer shines than every light + 

The moon in the blue atmosphere. + 

And she to whom my lyre would fain, + 

Yet dares not, dedicate its strain, + 

Shines in the female firmament + 

Like a full moon magnificent. + 

Lo! with what pride celestial + 

Her feet the earth beneath her press! + 

Her heart how full of gentleness, + 

Her glance how wild yet genial! + 

Enough, enough, conclude thy lay⁠— + 

For folly’s dues thou hadst to pay. + 
