My uncle, right in every manner,  
His health declining, and no joke,  
Demanded my respect and honor  
Could find no better than this yoke.  
May his example be a lesson;  
Can anything be more depressing  
Than spending every day and night,  
With a sick patient, what a plight!  
Is anything more low or cunning  
Than entertaining the half dead,  
Fixing the pillows on their bed,  
Giving them medicine, while fawning,  
And thinking, sigh, pretend to care  
When will the devil take you there

Мой дядя самых честных правил,  
Когда не в шутку занемог,  
Он уважать себя заставил  
И лучше выдумать не мог.  
Его пример другим наука;  
Но, боже мой, какая скука  
С больным сидеть и день и ночь,  
Не отходя ни шагу прочь!  
Какое низкое коварство  
Полуживого забавлять,  
Ему подушки поправлять,  
Печально подносить лекарство,  
Вздыхать и думать про себя:  
Когда же черт возьмет тебя!
