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 awhile 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!
|
|||
|
O 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.
