Our army made a great slaughter among the Russians; but they soon returned us the compliment. Azoff was taken by storm, and the enemy spared neither age, sex, nor condition, but put all to the sword, and laid the city in ashes. Our little fort alone held out; they resolved to reduce us by famine.
Fuéron muertos millares de Rusos, pero no nos quedáron á deber nada: Azof fué entrada á sangre y fuego, y no se perdonó edad ni sexô: solo quedó nuestro fortin, que los enemigos quisiéron tomar por hambre.
