 "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.
