The liar
The fable by Ivan Andreevich Krlylov

...

And the send-offs - howled.
The holidays and woes - got entangled...
And the music staves stand as a barbed wire.

Going after me as a known man:
'Where are your money? ' - 'In tavern.'
'Where is your heart? ' - 'In a slough pelted.'

That will have the sight,
