Архимеду в порту Сиракуз Указали на стаи медуз, Обещав, если он Их не выгонит вон, Самого изгнать из Сиракуз.

А. Дубровский, 2011

Archimedes was shown flocks of jellyfishes in Syracuse's port, and was told to take them away, otherwise they will take him away instead (makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).

Girl in Sack

There was a Young person of Crete, Whose toilette was far from complete; She dressed in a sack, Spickle-speckled with black, That ombliferous person of Crete.

E.Lear, 1846

I wonder what "ombliferous" could mean...?
