Edward Lear
Young Lady of Troy
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.

Эдвард Лир
Девица из Трои
Жила девица в крепости Троя
Там от мух ей не было покоя.
Она их ладошкой била,
Часть в болоте утопила.
Остальных брала с собою в Трою.
