Припустил старикашка из Дувру
По цветущему клеверу сдувру;
Пчёл немало впилось
И в коленки, и в нос,
И старик повернул прямо к Дувру.
There was an Old Man of Marseilles,
Whose daughters wore bottle-green veils;
They caught several Fish,
Which they put in a dish,
And sent to their Pa' at Marseilles.

Дочки старого мсье из Марселя
Изумрудны вуали надели;
Наловив окуней,
Отослали оне
Их на блюде Папа из Марселя.
There was an Old Person of Cadiz,
Who was always polite to all ladies;
But in handing his daughter,
He fell into the water,
Which drowned that Old Person of Cadiz.

Сей галантный старик, житель Кадиса,
Юным дамам служил жизнирадисто,
Впрочем, также и прочим;
Но подсаживал дочь он,
В воду плюх и утоп житель Кадиса.

Whose presence of mind was amazing;
He purchased a steed,
Which he rode at full speed,
And escaped from the people of Basing.

Жил-был старец из города Бейсинга,
Не терявший в душе равновейсинга;
И, купив скакуна,
Ускакал старина
Прочь от жителей города Бейсинга.
There was an Old Man of Quebec,
A beetle ran over his neck;
But he cried, 'With a needle,
I'll slay you, O beadle!'
That angry Old Man of Quebec.
