Right opposite Tattiana placed, + 

She, than the morning moon more pale, + 

More timid than a doe long chased, + 

Lifts not her eyes which swimming fail. + 

Anew the flames of passion start + 

Within her; she is sick at heart; + 

The two friends’ compliments she hears + 

Not, and a flood of bitter tears + 

With effort she restrains. Well nigh + 

The poor girl fell into a faint, + 

But strength of mind and self-restraint + 

Prevailed at last. She in reply + 

Said something in an undertone + 

And at the table sat her down. + 
