- Jon byŭ na redkascʹ uródlivy. Pryróda paskupilasja dlja jahó. Pjerš za ŭsjo, jon byŭ maljenʹkaha róstu, a na jahó ščuplym cjelje sjadzjela maljusjenʹkaja halava, jakaja zvužalasja kvjerxu.
- [original: He was preëminently unbeautiful. Nature had been niggardly with him. He was a small man to begin with; and upon his meagre frame was deposited an even more strikingly meagre head. Its apex might be likened to a point.]
