Слушать(AI)On A Fart - Let In The House Of Commons
Reader,
I was born, and cried;
I crack'd,
I smelt, and so I died.
Like Julius Caesar's was my death,
Who in the senate lost his breath.
Much alike entomb'd does
The noble Romulus and I:
And when I died, like Flora fair,
I left the commonwealth my heir.
