Taylor & Company, 1902:Иногда́ жизнь челове́ка быва́ет до того́ бедна́, что он нево́льно принуждё́н цени́ть свой поро́к и им жить; и мо́жно сказа́ть, что ча́сто лю́ди быва́ют поро́чны от ску́ки.- Inogdá žiznʹ čelovéka byvájet do tovó bedná, što on nevólʹno prinuždjón cenítʹ svoj porók i im žitʹ; i móžno skazátʹ, što částo ljúdi byvájut poróčny ot skúki.
