The World's Best Poetry, Volume 09: Of Tragedy: of Humour
Part 23
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.
'T was brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON (_Lewis Carroll_).
FOR A NOVEL OF HALL CAINE'S.
AFTER KIPLING.
He sits in a sea-green grotto with a bucket of lurid paint, And draws the Thing as it isn't for the God of things as they ain't.
