Роберт Бернс

The Toadeater
No more of your titled acquaintances boast,
Nor of the gay groups you have seen;
A crab louse is but a crab louse at last,
Tho's stack to the                   of a Queen.

Поклоннику знати
У него герцогиня знакомая,
Пообедал он с графом на днях...
Но осталось собой насекомое,
Побывав в короолевских кудрях.

Пер. С. Маршака

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?
I've been to London to look at the queen.
Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under her chair.
