1: Jabberwocky
2: by Lewis Carroll

4: `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
5:   Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
6: All mimsy were the borogoves,
7:   And the mome raths outgrabe.

9: "Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
10:   The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
11: Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
12:   The frumious Bandersnatch!"

14: He took his vorpal sword in hand:
15:   Long time the manxome foe he sought --
16: So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
17:   And stood awhile in thought.

19: And, as in uffish thought he stood,
20:   The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
21: Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
22:   And burbled as it came!

24: One, two! One, two! And through and through
25:   The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
26: He left it dead, and with its head
27:   He went galumphing back.

29: "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
30:   Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
31: O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
32:   He chortled in his joy.

34: `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
35:   Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
36: All mimsy were the borogoves,
37:   And the mome raths outgrabe.
