The translation is a little awkward because some words have been omitted in the Russian text to make it work as a rhyming verse, but it reads as, "How does one appease a benefactor? How to have him discourage all aggressors, to display such ardent concern?"   Hope this is helpful!   Best, Caroline       Rochelle Davis 10:55 PM (4 hours ago)   to Caroline, Rochelle, me         Thank you so very much!
