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 resteted 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 tulgery wood, And burbled as it came!
