   • 1892 [1878], Szymon Dickstein, translated by Напалеон Чарноцкі and Антон Ражаў, Dziadźka Anton, Tilsit: U drukarni Marii Krasoûskoj, translation of Ojciec Szymon, page 35:

     [...] pakul car z panami i ispraûnikami, i ûsimi swaimi słuhami budzie panawać nad ludam i wyciskać z jaha ostatnija soki jak z syra kanaplanaha, datul mużyki nia zaznajuć lepszaha życia, nia zaznajuć lepszaj doli;

     [...] as long as the tsar, along with the landowners, state officials, and all his servants, keeps ruling over the people and squeezing the last juices out of them like from a piece of hemp cheese, the peasants won't experience a better life, nor will they experience a better fate;

     Zastalasja, razumjejecje, stóma, alje ničóha padóbnaha na tóje, što ja sama zaznala z Džórdžam abó z Frederykam.

     [original: There is exhaustion, certainly, but nothing like what I underwent myself, either with George or Frederick.]

     There is still exhaustion, certainly, but nothing like what I underwent myself, either with George or Frederick.
