Стр. 555 - The busy day, the peaceful night, Unfelt, uncounted, glided by; His frame was firm — his powers were bright, Though now his eightieth year was nigh. Then with no fiery throbbing pain, No cold gradations of decay, Death broke at once the vital chain, And freed his soul the nearest way.
Стр. 62 - ... but, unfortunately, he is not capable of receiving their bounty, which would make him happy for life...
