Lot Essay
“Katerina,” poem of Taras Shevchenko (translated by John Weir)
O lovely maidens, fall in love,
But not with Muscovites,
For Muscovites are foreign folk,
They do not treat you right.
A Muscovite will love for sport,
And laughing go away;
He’ll go back to his Moscow land
And leave the maid a prey
To grief and shame…
It could be borne
If she were all alone,
But scorn is also heaped upon
Her mother frail and old…
