 P1: Tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s Day,

All in the morning betime,

And I a maid at your window,

To be your Valentine.

Then up the rose, and donnd his clothes,

And dupp’d the chamber-door,

Let in the maid, that out a maid

Never departed more

Заутра Валентинов день,

И с утренним лучом

Я Валентиною твоей

Жду под твоим окном.

Он встал на зов, был вмиг готов,

Затворы с двери снял;

Впускал к себе он деву в дом,

Не деву отпускал.

 (W. Shakespeare (Hamlet Act IV))
