Alexey Skyarenko: "From Pushkin's The Captain's Daughter (Chapter Two: "The Guide"): ...Unfortunately, I failed to find an English translation in the Internet. The epithet ezhovye comes from yozh, "hedgehog." One is reminded of Ezhov, the head of Stalin's secret police in 1936-38 (after Yagoda, before Beria)."
JM: Poetic associations and translations are richer when one (privately) indulges in possible games. Here's Morgenstern's rhyming "Hedgehog" Igel und Agel by Christian Morgenstern - "HodgePodge" or Hedgehog and Hegehag

Igel und Agel
Ein Igel sa? auf einem Stein
und blies auf einem Stachel sein
Schalmeiala, schalmeialu!
Da kam sein Feinslieb Agel
und tat ihm schnigel schnagel
zu seinen Melodein.
Schnigula schnagula
schnaguleia lu!
Das Tier verblies sein Flotenhemd...
"Wie siehst du aus so furchtbar fremd!?"
Schalmeiala, schalmeialu -.
Feins Agel ging zum Nachbar, ach!
Den Igel aber hat der Bach
zum Weiher fortgeschwemmt.
Wigula wagula

Sticly and Stackly in a translation by Max Knight , available in the internet
Stickly and Stackly
Stickly Prickly sat on a hill,
blew upon a cast-off quill.
Shalm flute-a-la, Shalm flute-a-lee.
There came his true love Stackly
and did him shnickly shnackly
and joined his tune and trill
shnikoola, shnakoola
shnakoo-lee-a-lee.
He blew off every single quill
"You look so bare now, are you ill?"
Shalm flute-a-la, Shalm flute-a-lee
She eyed a handsome neighbor. woe!
But Stickly drowned - the river flow.
Wiggoola, wiggoola,
wigoo-lee-a-lee too tee.
