1833, Александр Пушкин [Alexander Pushkin], “Глава 1. XXV”, in Евгений Онегин; English translation from Stanley Mitchell, transl., Eugene Onegin, London: Penguin Books, 2008:Он три часа́, по кра́йней ме́ре,
Пред зеркала́ми проводи́л
И из убо́рной выходи́л
Подо́бный ве́треной Вене́ре,
Когда́, наде́в мужско́й наря́д,
Боги́ня е́дет в маскара́д.- On tri časá, po krájnej mére,
Pred zerkalámi provodíl
I iz ubórnoj vyxodíl
Podóbnyj vétrenoj Venére,
Kogdá, nadév mužskój narjád,
Bogínja jédet v maskarád. - At least three hours he spent preparing
In front of mirrors in his lair,
And, stepping out at last from there,
Looked like a giddy Venus wearing
A man’s attire, who, thus arrayed,
Drives out to join a masquerade.
