London

CRUEL City, London, London,
Where, duped slaves of devils' creeds,
Men and women desperate, undone,
Dream such dreams, and do such deeds:
London, London, cruel city,
By day serpent, by night vampire —
God, in thy great pity, pity,
Give us light — though it be fire!

Лондон

Жестокий Город, London, Лондон,
Где, обманывают рабов дьяволом вероучения,
Где мужчины и женщины отчаянные, отменно,
Мечты как мечты, и делаются такие деяния:
Лондон, Лондон, жестокий город,
Днем змея, ночью вампир —
Бог, в своей Великой жалости, жалости,
Дайте нам свет — пусть он и будет огонь!

Treatment of teenagers which are sick of alcoholism, is spent in specialised branches and chambers of narcological clinics completely to protect from contacts to adults-alcoholics. Preventive maintenance of alcoholism at teenagers consists, first of all, in organizational and educational measures which are directed on that the teenager has realised negative influence of alcohol and aspired to avoid in every way contacts to it and other drinking.
