    • 1863, János Arany, translated by Watson Kirkconnell, Anton N. Nyerges and Ádám Makkai (Q674247), Buda halála ‎, canto 6:
      Értek vala éjszakára / Kur vizének a partjára; / Folyóvíznek partja mellett / Paripájok jól legelhet.
      They find themselves as daylight sinks / where Kur’s broad waters sweep and swell, / on meadows by the river-brinks / their weary steeds may pasture well.
