Ilona and Judit Gófitz

[2] The sisters, who were pygopagus (joined at the pelvis),[3] were examined by doctors and exhibited to curious crowds throughout Europe.

[4][5] At the age of nine, the pair retired to a convent in Presburg, Kingdom of Hungary, where they spent the rest of their lives.

The town of Szoenii gave them birth, hard by far-famed Komorn, Which noble fort may all the arts of Turkish sultans scorn.

Lucina, woman's gentle friend, did Helen first receive; And Judith, when three hours had passed, her mother's womb did leave.

Their parents poor did send them forth, the world to travel through, That this great wonder of the age should not be hid from view.
