    • 1833, Александр Пушкин [Alexander Pushkin], “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.
  3. Boston (type of dance)
