Молодую деваху с Тортуги
Раздражали огромные мухи;
Хлопнув несколько штук,
Гнев немного потух,
И сказала: - Закончились муки!.
88. Edward Lear
There was a Young Lady of Troy,
Whom several large flies did annoy;
Some she killed with a thump,
Some she drowned at the pump,
And some she took with her to Troy.
