Thirty white horses
Upon a red hill,
Now they stamp,
Now they

(champ чавкать, грызть удила),
Now they stand still

In marble /мрамор/ halls as white as milk,
Lined with a skin /на кожаной подкладке/ as soft as silk,
Within a fountain /резервуар/ crystal-clear,
A golden apple doth /устар. does/ appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold /крепость, твердыня/,
Yet thieves /воры/ break in and steal the gold.

Two legs sat upon three legs

With one leg in his lap;

In comes four legs

And runs away with one leg;

Up jumps two legs,

Catches up three legs,

Throws it after four legs,

And makes him bring back one leg.

As I was walking in a field of wheat /пшеница/,

I picked up something good to eat;

Neither fish, flesh /мясо/, fowl /птица; дичь/, nor bone /кость/,

I kept it till it ran alone.

There was a girl in our town,
Silk an' satin was her gown,
Silk an' satin, gold an' velvet,
Guess her name, three times I've telled it.

Two brothers we are,

Great burdens /ноша/ we bear/нести/.

On which we are bitterly / 1) горько 2) мучительно 3) резко, едко 4) резко, сильно/ pressed;

The truth is to say,

We are full all the day,

And empty when we go to rest.

Elizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy and Bess,

They all went together to seek a bird's nest;

They found a bird's nest with five eggs in,

They all took one, and left four in.
