You are loved and praised by people,
You brought joy to the emperor and the country,
You are the happiness of the country and the guarantee of the city.
With you, flowers bloom everywhere,
The wheat waves in the field are golden.
This ship is full of treasures,
Sail to the sea under your protection.
You extended a generous hand.
Bring wealth to every corner of the ocean.
…………
The miracle created by the creator,
It's amazing since ancient times.
He decided to continue to do good deeds,
So it has been passed down to this day.
God gave Russia greatness,
Do something unheard of.
He began to strut and go through hardships.
Win one victory after another,
Let Russia be ravaged by barbarians
Reach the sky in one step and stand tall.
On the bloody battlefield, even Mars, the god of war,
I am also sad to see Peter holding a sword.
Neptune saw the Russian flag.
Also afraid, complaining again and again.
Neva river was suddenly reinforced by an iron wall,
Mention one heavy building after another, thousands of families,
Not at a loss to himself:
"I'm confused?
Did you lose your way at once,
Never find the original road again? "
So all kinds of magical science
Over mountains, oceans and rivers,
Contact Russia,
Say to the great monarch:
We are willing to do our best.
Put the new achievements of pure wisdom
For the Russian people.
The monarch invited them to visit,
So Russia has anticipated it.
See their hard work.
But alas! How cruel fate is!
Someone who should be immortal.
People who benefit our people.
Makes our hearts sad,
He was taken away by the fate of jealousy,
How sad people cry!
Even the top of the mountain in Panacas heard crying.
Also issued a painful * * *,
The muses were in tears,
Send a great soul to heaven.

174 1 year, Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great, ascended the throne and announced that she would inherit her father's footsteps, which encouraged lomonosov, who advocated reform. 1747, the poet wrote this ode to ascensiontide, Queen of Elizabeth Petrovna. This poem is full of the patriotic spirit of the poet. His praise for the achievements of peace, science and heroism is actually a tribute to the motherland and Peter the Great. The poet takes Peter the Great as a model and ranks among the supreme wise monarchs. He hoped that Queen Elizabeth would follow in her father's footsteps, develop resources, develop science and train talents, so that Russia would embark on the road of prosperity.
Lomonosov embodied the rational spirit of classicism in this ode. Poets usually abstract concrete and individual characteristics in their creation, making it a rational reality and demanding that this rational reality be higher than the reality of life. In the poem, the poet praises the hard-won peace of the Russian nation like God. Peace has brought joy and wealth to the country, which is the premise of Russian national prosperity and people's happiness. The creator not only brought peace, but also brought great heroes, which made Russia stand firm from the ravages of foreign countries. The object of the poet's praise, the image of the wise and great monarch Peter the Great, has gradually grown tall in the flow of poetry.
The image of Peter the Great created by lomonosov also embodies the lofty rational principle of classicism. Peter the Great described by the poet is the highest embodiment of heroic spirit. This image reflects the historical truth to a certain extent, and shows the spiritual temperament of Peter the Great as an enlightened monarch: brave and good at fighting, caring for the people, advocating knowledge, setting up scientific undertakings and being tireless. When the first few verses of the ode were played to the extreme with high-pitched melody, the last verse of the poem suddenly turned into a sad elegy: the immortal hero revered by the world left the Russian people, and even the muses wept for it and bid farewell to this great soul. The poet used the contrast between life and death to set off the greatness of Peter the Great. This kind of upside-down technique and the art of contrast are the superb features of the poet. 1760, the poet once again shaped the image of Peter I in the unfinished narrative poem Peter the Great, praising Peter I for always being "in sweat, dust, smoke and flames".
Lomonosov opened up a new poetic style for Russian classical literature. Kanzemir used the standard of "truth" to write satirical poems, thinking that truth is more important than beauty, and only the undisguised expression of reality has power. His satirical tendency to expose ugly reality was inherited by a group of writers in the19th century and became the tradition of Russian classical literature. Lomonosov, on the other hand, opened up another noble and beautiful tradition of classical literature. He believes that the task of literature is not to expose ugliness, but to praise truth, goodness and beauty and heroic achievements. Lomonosov said that writing poetry is a noble creative activity, and poets are the teachers of the people and the embodiment of national consciousness. He expressed lofty thoughts with lofty poems through "agile association". The elegance of lomonosov's poems just makes up for the lack of artistry of Konzemir's satirical poems. Two poets, one pursuing "truth" and the other pursuing "sublimity", put forward artistic standards for Russian literature from different angles, thus laying two traditions in the history of Russian literature.
