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?’”
