      Всё из обезья́нства, всё из обезья́нства! Что францу́з в со́рок лет тако́й же ребёнок, каки́м был и в пятна́дцать, так вот дава́й же и мы!
      Vsjo iz obezʹjánstva, vsjo iz obezʹjánstva! Što francúz v sórok let takój že rebjónok, kakím byl i v pjatnádcatʹ, tak vot daváj že i my!
      It is all apishness, apishness! Because a Frenchman is as childish at forty as he was at fifteen, we must be the same!
