Words and Verse
Tsar Alexander I (Translation-Russian)
This is one of pushkin's biting epigrams.
Reared well by drum and banner's flashing,
Our Tsar was a commander dashing,
He dashed away at Austerlitz,
In Eighteen-Twelve he lost his wits,
To compensate he turned professor
Up at the front...but lost such cares,
And now he's collegiate assessor
Behind some desk in Foreign Affairs.
Reared well by drum and banner's flashing,
Our Tsar was a commander dashing,
He dashed away at Austerlitz,
In Eighteen-Twelve he lost his wits,
To compensate he turned professor
Up at the front...but lost such cares,
And now he's collegiate assessor
Behind some desk in Foreign Affairs.
