Znay, moy drug, vrazhde i druzhbe tsenu,
I sudom pospeshnyim ne greshi.
Gnev na druga mozhet byit mgnovennyim,
Izlivat pokuda ne speshi.
Mozhet drug tvoy sam potoropilsya
I tebya obidel nevznachay.
Provinilsya drug i povinilsya,
Tyi emu greha ne pominay.
Lyudi, myi stareem i vetshaem,
I s techenem nashih let i dney
Legche myi druzey svoih teryaem,
Obretaem ih kuda trudney.
Esli vernyiy kon, poraniv nogu,
Vdrug spotknulsya, a potom opyat,
Ne vini ego, vini dorogu,
I konya ne toropis menyat.
Ya inyih priderzhivalsya pravil,
V slabosti usmatrivaya zlo,
Skolko v zhizni ya druzey ostavil,
Skolko ot menya druzey ushlo.
I teper ya vseh vas videt zhazhdu,
Nekogda lyubivshie menya,
Mnoyu ne proschennyie odnazhdyi
Ili ne prostivshie menya.
Ya proshu vas, lyudi, radi Boga,
Ne teryayte dobrotyi svoey,
Na zemle druzey ne tak uzh mnogo,
Opasaytes poteryat druzey. |
