Using Google Translate to Translate "On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer" into Spanish

Mucho he viajado en los reinos de oro,     Y muchos un buen estado y reino visto;     Alrededor de muchas islas occidentales he estado Qué bardos en fidelidad sostienen a Apolo. A menudo de una amplia extensión me habían dicho     Ese Homero ceñudo gobernó como su dominio;     Sin embargo, nunca respiré su sereno puro Hasta que escuché a Chapman hablar en voz alta y intrépido : Entonces me sentí como un observador del cielo     Cuando un nuevo planeta nada en su conocimiento; O como el robusto Cortez cuando con ojos de águila     —Él y todos sus hombres miraban el Pacífico. Se miraron con una loca conjetura.     Silencioso en Darien, sobre un pico. Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,     And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;     Round many western islands have I been Which bards in feal...

Using Google Translate to Translate the First Stanza of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin

Here's my translation, with the help of Google Translate, of the first stanza of Alexander Pushkin's famous novel-in-verse, Eugene Onegin. “My uncle has the rules most honest; When he was seriously ill, He forced us to treat him most fondest, A plan thought up with utmost skill. His example is surely science; But, my God, to be in compliance With a patient, sit night and day Without leaving a step away! What low treachery to the rundown To amuse, to correct cushions For him, to bring medications Sadly, to sigh and think to oneself: ‘We know this is more than the flu, When will the devil come for you?’”
