Page:Through the looking-glass and what Alice found there (IA throughlookinggl00carr4).pdf/61

This page needs to be proofread.

It was like this:

[Illustration: YKCOWREBBAJ

sevot yhtils eht dna ,gillirb sawT'

       ,sevogorob eht erew ysmim llA

She puzzled over this for some time, but at last a bright thought struck her. "Why, it's a Looking-glass book, of course! And if I hold it up to a glass the words will all go the right way again."

This was the poem that Alice read:


JABBERWOCKY

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
 Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
 And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  The frumious Bandersnatch!"
