To tragedy, the fainting fit, + 

And female tears hysterical, + 

Onegin could not now submit, + 

For long he had endured them all. + 

Our misanthrope was full of ire, + 

At a great feast against desire, + 

And marking Tania’s agitation, + 

Cast down his eyes in trepidation + 

And sulked in silent indignation; + 

Swearing how Lenski he would rile, + 

Avenge himself in proper style. + 

Triumphant by anticipation, + 

Caricatures he now designed + 

Of all the guests within his mind. + 
