      Што-ж датычыць арыстакратызма, то сам гаспадар надзелены ім у такой колькасці, што адна толькі яго прысутнасць будзе дзейнічаць накшталт прышчэпкі, якой хопіць на ўсіх гасцей.
      Što-ž datyčycʹ arystakratyzma, to sam haspadar nadzjeljeny im u takój kólʹkasci, što adna tólʹki jahó prysutnascʹ budzje dzjejničacʹ nakštalt pryščepki, jakój xópicʹ na ŭsix hascjej.
