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.
