"The Czars ami is long, but it cannot reach to heaven." "Neitlicr can the t'zar's vinojiar make anything sweet." "Phe hand of tlio Czar, too, has only live lingers." "The voice of the Czar has an echo even when there aie no moun- tains in the viiirjity." "The troil^a iteam of three horses abreast; of the Czar leave a deep trace behind it," "It is no more difficult for Death to curry a fnt Czar than to carry a lean beggar."
