XI + 

Thus did our friend Onegin preach: + 

Tattiana, dim with tears her eyes, + 

Attentive listened to his speech, + 

All breathless and without replies. + 

His arm he offers. Mute and sad + 

(Mechanically, let us add), + 

Tattiana doth accept his aid; + 

And, hanging down her head, the maid + 

Around the garden homeward hies. + 

Together they returned, nor word + 

Of censure for the same incurred; + 

The country hath its liberties + 

And privileges nice allowed, + 

Even as Moscow, city proud. + 
