And observed all the ruins of Philæ;.

 

The was a Young Lady of Bute,

Who played on a silver-gilt flute (играла на покрытой серебром флейте);

She played several jigs (несколько джиг),

To her uncle's white pigs (для ее дяди белых свиней),

That amusing (забавная) Young Lady of Bute.

There was a Young Lady whose nose (чей нос),

Was so long that it reached to her toes (такой длинный, что доставал по пальцев ее ног);

So she hired (наняла) an Old Lady,

Whose conduct was steady (чье поведение/сопровождение было твердым, устойчивым, равномерным),

To carry that wonderful nose (чтобы носить этот замечательный нос).

There was a Young Lady of Turkey,

Who wept when the weather was murky (погода была мрачной; weep – плакать, рыдать);

When the day turned out fine (день оказывался ясным),

She ceased to repine (прекращала роптать, ворчать),

That capricious Young Lady of Turkey (капризная).
