Ruskin, John: Ausgewählte Werke in vollständiger Übersetzung (Band 7): Praeterita (Teil 2) (Leipzig, 1904)

Their sails, or jugglers, past belief
Will con-involve a handkerchief —
If little pigs, when time is brief
Will, that way, double up their beef,
Then — little pigs will come to grief.

Und hier endlich ein zierlicher und pathetischer
Pigwiggischer Hymnus aus Abbeville vom Jahre 1858,
ein recht anmutiger Abschluß dieses Kapitels, sollte
ich denken:

If little pigs — when evening dapples,
With fading clouds, her autumn sky —
Set forth in search of Norman Chapels,
And find, instead, where cliffs are high,
Half way from Amiens to Etaples,
A Castle, füll of pears and apples,
On donjon floors laid out to dry;
— Green jargonelles, and apples tenny, —
And find their price is five a penny,
If little pigs, then, buy too many,
Spare to those little pigs a sigh.
