Christopher Marlo on habrozavisimosti

Exactly a year ago, on April 1, 2012, during the excavations of Stonehenge, an earlier unknown manuscript of the English playwright Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was found. This event took place on Habré unnoticed, although the work is full of amazing insights, and the name is indicative: The terrible Habrahabr .
The play has not yet been published, so I would venture to offer my modest translation to the Khabrovsk citizens from Old English - perhaps he will be of interest to someone.

This is a terrible word Habrahabr

Characters:
Gabriele , Prince, 18 years old.
Francesca , his bride, 16 years old.
Witch , 20 years old.

Action 1

Gabriele and Francesca.
Francesca
Tell me, Gabriele, why
are you Nahmuren - noticed over tea?
I don’t understand this attitude,
because our wedding is coming soon!
Gabriele
Not by chance.
My thoughtful look.
Francesca
What, say,
So worried, as if soon in a loop?
Betrayal? Did the enemy sharpen knives?
They led them all to be executed then.
Gabriele
Immediately!
Francesca
Are you kidding?
GABRIELE
Yes - at least I feel sick now.
Francesca
Fi, this is arrogance! Just before the wedding!
Gabriele
Please, Francesca, believe me,
There is a certain hunch. Find out ...
Francesca
What, what to learn?
GABRIELE
What a witch will tell me.
Francesca
What other witch?
Gabriele.
There is a custom.
From ancient times in my family ...
Francesca.
He is not against accepted decency, is he?
Gabriele
That witch - grooms come to her
For a prophecy about the marriage of an ambulance.
There is no ancient custom.
Francesca
Why be sad? Go without talking!
You are worried in vain.
Gabriele
Not at all.
There was no worse bitch in the world
than this witch. Something will blur,
And then I ... I would save my nerves,
Yes , I can’t - custom, what to say.
I'm afraid she will promise us adversity,
When you have to ask her a question
. How to spend years together.
Francesca
And you ask about something else.
Gabriele
I should ask her a question about the family.
Oh, played out, I feel with fire,
Although usually cautious!
Francesca
Ask, but suppose not about us.
Gabriele
Who then?
Francesca
About our remote
Descendants, and let at least the broken hour
Tells about his mirages.
What is the matter to us?
Gabriele
Maybe somehow
And it will cost, even though I am scared to go.
Francesca
Ah, Gabriele, head to chest,
Bow to me and become, my friend, brave.
My sweetheart ... Gabriele ... Well, be brave
Go for our upcoming happiness.
Gabriela
I don't like this, she-she-she.
Leaves.
Francesca
And hurry up, you hear, come back!

Action 2

Witch and Gabriele.
The witch
Has appeared, yes? .. Long time not been
in my dwelling prince high-born.
GABRIELE
I'm not doing that. Tied up with it -
I spoke.
Witch
And then, what is desired
from his girlfriend?
GABRIELE
You drop it.
You are not the girl to me, but the witch is simple.
Let it be once succeeded to seduce,
What is attached to the body like a scab?
Everything is in the past relationship ... Listen, I
didn’t come to quarrel - this is not what.
In connection with the engagement, the family requires.
Custom observe.
Witch
Where do we mark!
To an abandoned beloved came
Not for forgiveness - only for advice.
You, Gabriele, are climbing into trouble.
But I'm a witch.
Gabriele
Shame is unknown to you.
Witch
Do not be afraid, I will not lie in predictions.
Now we’ll check
whether the young beauty Will have to go to the father’s yard
Or in the mouth of the narrowed scabies Will
begin in a month ...
Gabriele
Wait a minute!
I intend to ask you another question.
What awaits my descendants ahead,
After three hundred or eight hundred years?
Witch
Sure?
Gabriele
Yes, I'm sure!
Witch
Time, open up!
Let the gloomy abyss open,
And through it the unknown life
Will hatch like grains everywhere.
I see, see, see ahead:
A descendant of yours distant -
praprapra-prapra-prapra-great-great-grandson will fall
into dependence on Habr-Habr-Habr.
Gabriele
What kind of words are flying from your mouth?
They are incomprehensible to me.
Witch
Listen on.
Gabriele
I have to, yes ... There is a crunch in my ears.
No, stop it immediately! Go on!
Witch
Your descendant, your great-grandson is praprapra ...
On Habrahabr will become an old-timer.
However, he won’t make good, He will
only tear from the tension of the vein,
Gabriele
But why?
Witch
Instead of gold,
He will collect the pluses in the piggy bank.
Gabriele
Descendant idiot? You hit the poddy!
Witch
In captivity of illusions, schizia and allusions,
A descendant in Habrahabr will stare,
In his patterns are bright ...
Gabriele
It is hard for me.
Madman for a family is such a shame!
What is Habrahabr?
Witch
So, glass. Quite a lot of simple-minded people are
destined to get carried away with Habrahabr
.
Appear there once, but
not everyone will be able to return.
Gabriele
On Habrahabr all night?
Witch.
That's right.
Gabriele
Into the glass with a cloudy look?
Your prophecy will kill me,
No, I do not believe - it is difficult to believe in it.
You witch are lying!
Witch
Vestiges are not allowed to
Lie before people, even before you.
We have forgotten how to do this for a long time.
Gabriele
I am broken, destroyed. What's next ?!
Leaves, staggering.

Action 3

Gabriele (one).
Gabriele
Oh Lord! I am definitely disabled
Since I heard about Habrahabr.
The senile is broken by radiculitis,
And in the head a gypsy camp is buzzing.
Just think about it! The royal family
On the uniform the idiot will interrupt,
Whom, look for at least a year,
You will not find in the surrounding nature.
Yes, smallpox, hunger and jail are better
than Habrahabra slippery embrace,
In which mine will be
great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson ... That’s a curse!
How to live with it and overcome it?
What to do, who will help the unfortunate,
When the flesh has not yet been born,
And the brain is already foreboding with foreboding?
Isn’t this the elimination of trouble?
While prapra-prapra ... the descendant is fragile,
you can, prince! You grit your teeth! You will do your
main thing in life:
you will tear the root. Let the steel pierce
into my heart! That I linger, in fact,
When it is so simple ...
Francesca enters.
Francesca
Sweetheart, stop it!
No need to fool around, Gabriele!
Gabriele
Ah, is that you?
Francesca
From the witch did you come?
And what did she predict for the wedding?
Will all be well with descendants?
Satisfied with the prediction?
Gabriele
Nimalo.
Francesca
You are somehow pale.
Gabriele
Woman, be quiet!
Francesca
You talk too sharply,
When we have until night
To the wedding ...
Gabriele
Shut up you, Francesca ?!
Oh women! All nonsense comes
from your source.
I said - at this place, here - You
don’t have to go. What did you answer?
Francesca
What did the witch predict?
Gabriele
Nothing
Good. A monster from the belly
Will appear - let not yours,
But our descendant.
Francesca
Here is an old woman!
Gabriele
Upset? No, it’s a happy face.
And for me there is no worse picture, The
descendant to Habrahabr is like a prince:
And he stares, and breathes awkwardly.
Francesca
What descendant descended to?
Gabriele
Habrahabr!
Francesca
Fi, nonsense!
Gabriele
I'm royal blood.
Francesca
Today is Gabriele too brave?
He decided to swear with me? This is new.
Gabriele
You fool!
Francesca
Maybe you're a fool yourself?
Gabriele
I'm a prince, remember.
Francesca
Make your voice quieter
And stop being rude.
Gabriele
Well, if so, she
spoke to me, get it!
Stabs Francesca.
Francesca
Ah, dying! Doctors to me!
And a hole in the dress! Medic required!
Dies.
Gabriele
He’ll be late - even on a horse.
On a lather, he won’t reach Francesca.
Its end. Now it’s my turn to
take the medicine of Damascus steel.
It comes to the open heart,
But I can hardly stand the treatment.
Stabs himself.
How nice ... There’s a hot nail in my chest ...
What kind of flash is there? To see ...
One thing is sure: the
Prophecy of our witch's family did not come true .
Dies.

Action 4 last

Witch (alone).
Witch
Prophecies cannot be deceived,
Since it is not given to them differently:
They always show the way,
You need to go to the end.
Both my mother and grandmother
only broadcast the truth during their Careers.
I recognize them in my breed
And I'm not joking with such things.
It will happen as agreed:
Yours, Gabriele, far-distant great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-greatness ... -
Century is not important and the name is all the same - It will
appear in the arms of Habrahabr.
But, Gabriele, that guy is
not at all an idiot and hardly even a nut.
You dreamed in reality because of the problems
that drove you into the coffin.
And your descendant will come out at least where:
Tall, without acne and anemia,
And without bad habits - yes, yes, yes,
Excellent, I will give him health.
Because, Gabriele, your son is here,
Waiting for his hour in my womb,
Then the whole free one will go out into the air.
His time did not come, but yours already struck ...
Oh my son! Our descendants are all -
Especially the one who steps bravely
Someday under the sweet canopy,
As predicted, Habra-Habra-Habra!
A curtain.

Christopher Marlowe,
1591
