Морячок престарелый в Рошфоре
На столбе восседал, как в дозоре;
А продрог мореход -
Попросил бутерброд,
И схомячил, с хитринкой во взоре.
83. Edward Lear
There was an Old Man of the coast,
Who placidly sat on a post;
But when it was cold
He relinquished his hold
And called for some hot buttered toast.
1846
