More than once there will be a ring of amusing bells;
More than once, kissing forehead of gloomy Caricature,
We will waste many arrows unsuccessfully,
Until the goal would be achieved in the end!
We will pierce many armors without compassion,
Tricking all like cunning conspirators,
Until you will appear, magnificent creation!
