Перевод с английского лимерика Эдварда Лира.
У молоденькой дамы из Трои
Отношение к мухам плохое:
То с размаху убьёт, то водой обольёт,
А кого – и живьём в плен возьмёт!
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.
