One, two! And through and through 31The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! 32He left it dead, and with its head 33He went galumphing back. 34 35"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? 36Come to my arms, my beamish boy! 37O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' 38He chortled in his joy. 39 40`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves 41Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; 42All mimsy were the borogoves, 43And the mome raths outgrabe. 44
