1`Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
2        The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
3Beware the Jujub bird, and shun
4        The frumious Bandersnatch!'

6He took his vorpal sword in hand:
7        Long time the manxome foe he sought--
8So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
9        And stood awhile in thought.
10
11And as in uffish thought he stood,
12        The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
13Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
14        And burbled as it came!
15
16One, two!  One, two!  And through and through
17        The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
18He left it dead, and with its head
19        He went galumphing back.
20
21`And has thou slain the Jabberwock?
22        Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
23O frabjous day!  Calloh!  Callay!'
24        He chortled in his joy.

26'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
27        Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
28All mimsy were the borogoves,
29        And the mome raths outgrabe.
