Poe, Edgar Allan: West Point-i gúnyvers (A West Point Lampoon [Lines on Joe Locke] in Hungarian)

Portre of Poe, Edgar Allan

A West Point Lampoon [Lines on Joe Locke] (English)

As for Locke, he is all in my eye,
May the d——l right soon for his soul call.
He never was known to lie –
In bed at a reveillé “roll call.”

John Locke was a notable name;
Joe Locke is a greater; in short,
The former was well known to fame,
But the latter’s well known “to report.”

West Point-i gúnyvers (Hungarian)

Locke itt vagy, lókötő,
    Vinne bár az öreg ördög!
Ébresztőm, hajnalt, ha jő:
    "Talpra!" - még ma is te dörgöd.

Gyötrőnk, stréber Locke John,
    Hálótermi szolgalélek!
Poklot járnál állandóan,
    S látnám: úgy se költenélek!
