There was an Old Lady whose folly,       Из каприза, по прихоти чисто
Induced her to sit on a holly;                   Леди села на куст остролиста;
Whereon by a thorn,                                О колючку порвав

Her dress being torn,                                И подол, и рукав,
She quickly became melancholy.            Леди сделалась меланхолиста.

There was an Old Man of the Dee,           Был старик из окрестностей Ди
Who was sadly annoyed by a flea;           Донимаем блохою, поди;
When he said, 'I will scratch it,'                 Он сказал: «Дам отпор!»
They gave him a hatchet,                         Протянули топор,
Which grieved that Old Man of the Dee.    Горько старцу в окрестностях Ди.
