Еще один вариант перевода:

Shall I depict with expert knowledge
the cabinet behind the door
where the prize-boy of fashion's college
is dressed, undressed, and dressed once more?
* Whatever for caprice of spending
ingenious London has been sending
across the Baltic in exchange
for wood and tallow *; all the range
of useful objects that the curious
Parisian taste invents for one --
for friends of languor, or of fun,
or for the modishly luxurious --
all this, at eighteen years of age,
adorned the sanctum of our sage.

И еще один вариант:

Shall I depict in a faithful copy
The solitary dressing room
Where fashion\'s perfect devotee
Gets clothed, unclothed, and clothed again?
* All things which, for caprice unbounded,
Fastidious London sells and trades
And sends across the Baltic waves
(For wood and pig fat fair exchanges); *
All which the frenzied taste in Paris,
Conspiring with the useful trades
Invents and chooses for our distraction,
For luxury, and for idle fashion,
All this adorned the room of our sage,
The philosopher, eighteen years of age.

The translation is by G. R. Ledger.

Второй вариант перевода не очень ритмичный (мягко говоря :)), зато буквальный, может быть, для целей Аскера больше подходит.
