Q03528英文雙關
3528I knew a man, not many years gone by, Who had a block of timber in each eye, Without impairing, in the least, his sight, Or filling those who saw him with affright.

A curse upon his meals he often had, And saw with joy it made another glad. Strangest of all, for every house he let, A half a score of insects did beset. At length he did become a seasoned dish , To grace a throne, which suited well his wish; And all this while an arrow, mind , was in him, Which to the things he loved did firmly pin him.有個人每眼都有一塊木材卻看得見，頭上住著成千長毛的動物和兩棟建築；用餐時有詛咒，卻使別人高興；每出租一屋就招來十隻蟲；最後成為可登上王座的調味菜餚，而且一直有an arrow, mind在身裡。如何解讀這些怪事？⌄
