     Было, вядома, прыемна перамагчы такога звера, але мяса яго не ўжывалася ў страву, і я вельмі шкадаваў, што мы папсавалі тры зарады на гэтую бескарысную дзічыну.

     Byló, vjadóma, pryjemna pjeramahčy takóha zvjera, alje mjasa jahó nje ŭžyvalasja ŭ stravu, i ja vjelʹmi škadavaŭ, što my papsavali try zarady na hetuju bjeskarysnuju dzičynu.

     [original: This was game indeed to us, but this was no food; and I was very sorry to lose three charges of powder and shot upon a creature that was good for nothing to us.]

     It was naturally pleasant to defeat such a beast, but its meat had no use as food, and I was very sorry to waste three charges of powder on such a useless game.

     Ласункі Гендон пакідаў для караля: без іх яго вялікасць, магчыма, не выжыў-бы, бо ён не мог есці грубую, агідную страву, якую прыносіў турэмшчык.

     Lasunki Hjendón pakidaŭ dlja karalja: bjez ix jahó vjalikascʹ, mahčyma, nje vyžyŭ-by, bo jon nje moh jesci hrubuju, ahidnuju stravu, jakuju prynósiŭ turemščyk.

     За першай і другой стравай маёр звычайна бываў сур'ёзны, бо тубылец, выконваючы тайны загад, акружаў яго прыбор рознастайнымі соусамі і бутэлечкамі, і маёр быў не на жарты заняты, выцягваючы коркі і змешваючы тое што ў іх было на сваёй талерцы.

     Za pjeršaj i druhój stravaj majór zvyčajna byvaŭ surʺjózny, bo tubyljec, vykónvajučy tajny zahad, akružaŭ jahó prybór róznastajnymi sóusami i butelječkami, i majór byŭ nje na žarty zanjaty, vycjahvajučy kórki i zmješvajučy tóje što ŭ ix byló na svajój taljercy.

     [original: During the first course or two, the Major was usually grave; for the Native, in obedience to general orders, secretly issued, collected every sauce and cruet round him, and gave him a great deal to do, in taking out the stoppers, and mixing up the contents in his plate.]
