| Lizzie Borden | "Лиззи Борден" (опера Дж. Бисона {Jack Beeson} (1965)) |
| Lizzie Borden took an axe / And gave her father forty whacks. / And when she saw what she had done, / She gave her mother forty-one. | Лиззи Борден, примерясь, / Топором папашу—хрясь! / А увидев этот страх, / Топором мамашу — трах! (Anonymous epigram) |
