Help identifying a translation

Can anyone help me to identify to translator who created what appears
now to be the standard Russian-language version of the following  
citation from
Byron’s, “Fare Thee Well”:

"Proshchai, proshchai, i esli--
  navsegda, to navsegda proshchai!

  This citation is all over the place on the web (with very slight  
variations), but the translator does not seem to be identified  
anywhere.  The passage I cite appears not to match the Ivan Kozlov  
translation of the poem.  In one online forum, someone tentatively  
suggested it is Pasternak's work, but that seems to be incorrect.  I  
have not been able to find it in the Marshak collections I have  
examined, but then maybe I have just not been looking in the correct  
edition.  Thanks in advance for your help.  Emily
