- 1866, János Arany (translator), Hamlet, dán királyfi, translation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet
De így megátalkodni a / Bánatban: ez vétkes nyakaskodás, / Nem férfias bú; Isten elleni / Rugódozás, mely gyarló szívet és / Nem béketűrő elmét árul el, / És bárdolatlan, együgyű eszet.- but to persever / In obstinate condolement is a course / Of impious stubbornness; ’tis unmanly grief; / It shows a will most incorrect to heaven, / A heart unfortified, a mind impatient, / An understanding simple and unschool’d
- 1966, Klára Szőllősy (Q1314210) (translator), Oz, a nagy varázsló, translation of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
