source of quotation

[Svetlana Malykhina]

These are lines from The Tale of Ihor's Campaign. These lines are likely to be drawn from Maikov's translation. The first verse translation of the Slovo into Russian was I. Seriakov's (1803); it was followed by those of Vasyl Kapnist (1809), Vasilii Zhukovsky (1817–19), M. Delarue (1839), L. Mei (1850), Nikolai Gerbel (1854), A. Maikov (1869), E. Barsov (1887), K. Balmont (1929), S. Shervinsky (1934), G. Shtorm (1934), I. Novikov (1938), V. Stelletsky (1938), N. Zabolotsky (1946), A. Yugov (1950), S. Botvinnik (1957), and N. Rylenkov (1962).

Does any body know the source of this excerpt by drevnii pevets qouted in the
Zhitie of Aleksandr Nevskii by Khitrov (Moscow, 1893)?


This exerpt is about about Vsevolod Bol'shoye Gnezdo:

"Ty mozhesh' moguchuiu Volgu razbryzgat' våslami liudei è
vycherpat' Don mnogovodny shelomami rati tvoei"

«Òû ìîæåøü ìîãó÷óþ Âîëãó ràçáðûçãàòü
âeñëàìè ëþäåé è âû÷åðïàòü Äîí ìíîãîâîäíûé
øåëîìàìè ðàòè òâîåé»

Ñëîâî î ïîëêó Èãîðåâà has been suggested. If that is correct,
where is it?

Thanks in advance,
Michael Braun
