Пир”, in Князь Серебряный; English translation from Prince Serebrenni, (Please provide a date or year):Хороши́ и вкусны́ бы́ли та́кже за́йцы в лапше́, и го́сти, как уже́ ни нагрузи́лись, но не пропусти́ли ни перепело́в с чесно́чною подли́вкой, ни жа́воронков с лу́ком и шафра́ном.- Xoroší i vkusný býli tákže zájcy v lapšé, i gósti, kak užé ni nagruzílisʹ, no ne propustíli ni perepelóv s česnóčnoju podlívkoj, ni žávoronkov s lúkom i šafránom.
