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 mindig is itt áll szemem előtt,
    Bár vinné az ö---g a lelkét pokolba.
Nem képzelhettünk el oly ébresztőt,
    Amely őt ágyában lelte volna.

John Locke nevét el nem nyeli sír;
    Joe Locke kiválóbb, annyi szent,
Az előbbi nevét jelenti a hír,
    Az utóbbi arról híres, hogy "jelent".
