And the world met her smilingly, + 

A first success light pinions gave, + 

The old Derjavine noticed me, + 

And blest me, sinking to the grave. + 

Then my companions young with pleasure + 

In the unfettered hours of leisure + 

Her utterances ever heard, + 

And by a partial temper stirred + 

And boiling o’er with friendly heat, + 

They first of all my brow did wreathe + 

And an encouragement did breathe + 

That my coy Muse might sing more sweet. + 

O triumphs of my guileless days, + 

How sweet a dream your memories raise! + 
