XXXVII + 

To his Penates now returned, + 

Vladimir Lenski visited + 

His neighbour’s lowly tomb and mourned + 

Above the ashes of the dead. + 

There long time sad at heart he stayed: + 

“Poor Yorick,” mournfully he said, + 

“How often in thine arms I lay; + 

How with thy medal I would play, + 

The Medal Otchakoff conferred! + 

To me he would his Olga give, + 

Would whisper: shall I so long live?”⁠— + 

And by a genuine sorrow stirred, + 

Lenski his pencil-case took out + 

And an elegiac poem wrote. + 
