1833, Александр Пушкин , “Глава 1. XXXVIII”, in Евгений Онегин; English translation from Stanley Mitchell, transl., Eugene Onegin, London: Penguin Books, 2008:Ни спле́тни све́та, ни босто́н,
Ни ми́лый взгляд, ни вздох нескро́мный,
Ничто́ не тро́гало его́,
Не замеча́л он ничего́.- Ni splétni svéta, ni bostón,
Ni mílyj vzgljad, ni vzdox neskrómnyj,
Ništó ne trógalo jevó,
Ne zamečál on ničevó. - Neither the worldly gossiping,
Nor game of boston, then in swing,
Immodest sighs or glances candid,
Naught touched Onegin to the core
He noticed nothing any more.
- Boston (type of dance)
