Socrates' last beverage

Знаменитый философ Сократ Был любого умней во сто крат. И за это народ (Горсть углей ему рот!) Повелел, чтобы умер Сократ.

А. Дубровский, 2011

Раздражение народа от поучений пытавшегося сделать его лучше Сократа вылилось в смертный приговор философу, по которому тот должен был выпить яд цикуты.

Prominent philosopher Socrates was smrter than anyone else. Because of that people ordered Socrates to die. (makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).
