The Past is such a curious Creature
To look her in the Face
A Transport may receipt us
Or a Disgrace -

Unarmed if any meet her
I charge him fly
Her faded Ammunition
Might yet reply.

Ах как забавна эта вещь,
Что Прошлым мы зовем.
Заглянешь вглубь - страсть и позор
Нашли забвенье в нем.

Без толстокожести тебе
Не устоять пред ним:
Опасно, знать, вооружен,
Сей старый пилигрим.
