Jabberwocky
|
|
|
|
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
|
|
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
|
|
All mimsy were the borogoves,
|
|
And the mome raths outgrabe.
|
|
|
|
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
|
|
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
|
|
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
|
|
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
|
|
|
|
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
|
|
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
|
|
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
|
|
And stood a while in thought.
|
|
|
|
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
|
|
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
|
|
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
|
|
And burbled as it came!
|
|
|
|
One two! One two! And through and through
|
|
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
|
|
He left it dead, and with its head
|
|
He went galumphing back.
|
|
|
|
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
|
|
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
|
|
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
|
|
He chortled in his joy.
|
|
|
|
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
|
|
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
|
|
All mimsy were the borogoves,
|
|
And the mome raths outgrabe.
