A.K. Tolstoy poem

[Sarah Hurst]

Hello,


Is anyone familiar with the poem by A.K. Tolstoy Великодушие смягчает сердца? There’s a link to it here: 


 <http://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/Великодушие_смягчает_сердца_(А._К._Толстой)> http://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/Великодушие_смягчает_сердца_(А._К._Толстой)


I have to translate part of it and I was wondering if there’s a good translation out there. And also who the protagonist “Mishel/Michel Delarue” is, if he’s someone known or invented?


Thanks,


Sarah Hurst
