Russian, Ukrainian, and Belorussian burlesques were produced in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, respectively by Nikolaj Osipov, Ivan Kotlyarevs'kyj, and Vikentsi Rovinski. A stanzea from each of the first two, with English verse paraphrase, will be found in M. L. Gasparovm _A History of European Versification_, tr. G. S. Smith and Marina Tarlinskaja, ed. G. S. Smith and Leofranc Holford-Strevens (Oxford, 1996), 239-40.
