Mae'n brydgell ac mae'r brochgim stwd Yn gimblo a gyrian yn y mhello: Pob cólomrws yn féddabwd, A'r hoch oma'n chwibruo. The stanza is printed first in faux-mediaeval lettering as a "relic of ancient Poetry" (in which þ e is a form of the word the) and printed again "in modern characters". [4]

Brilumia e colescosos touvos No capimtanal se giroscavam; Miquíticos eram os burrogouvos, E os mamirathos extrapitavam. Prior to 0.24, Gyre and Gimble had a +5 enchantment, the vorpal brand, and a -3 penalty to dexterity. The “toves” in line number two are said to “gyre,” perhaps meaning gyrate, or dance, “in the wabe”. The word “wabe” is later described as being a grass area around a sundial. There is clearly a magical or mystical element to the scene.Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave. Enmîmés sont les gougebosqueux Et le mômerade horsgrave. Manxome: Possibly 'fearsome'; Possibly a portmanteau of "manly" and "buxom", the latter relating to men for most of its history; or "three-legged" after the triskelion emblem of the Manx people from the Isle of Man. Era la parrillhora y los flexiosos tovos en el cesplejos giroscopiaban, vibrhoradaban. Frivoserables estaban los borogovos y los verchinos telehogariados relinchiflaban. Borgotaba. Los viscoleantes toves rijando en la solea, tadralaban... Misébiles estaban los borgoves y algo momios los verdos bratchilbaban

I glummert lys den slyge spæg stod gomrende og glim. I børkens dyb stod mamren fjæg og bungrede i skim.

Galumphing: Perhaps used in the poem as a blend of "gallop" and "triumphant". [22] Used later by Kipling, and cited by Webster as "To move with a clumsy and heavy tread" [24] [25]As Gyre & Gimble, work includes: co-director/puppet designer of The Four Seasons: A Reimagining (Shakespeare’s Globe), The Hartlepool Monkey (UK tour) and The Elephantom (National Theatre & West End). As well as co-designer/director of puppetry for The Grinning Man (Bristol Old Vic & West End), The Lorax (Old Vic) and Running Wild (Chichester Festival Theatre, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre & UK Tour). Rath: Humpty Dumpty says following the poem: "A 'rath' is a sort of green pig". Carroll's notes for the original in Mischmasch state that a 'Rath' is "a species of land turtle. Head erect, mouth like a shark, the front forelegs curved out so that the animal walked on its knees, smooth green body, lived on swallows and oysters." [19] In the 1951 animated film adaptation of the previous book, the raths are depicted as small, multi-coloured creatures with tufty hair, round eyes, and long legs resembling pipe stems.

Carroll makes later reference to the same lines from Hamlet Act I, Scene i in the 1869 poem "Phantasmagoria". He wrote: "Shakspeare [ sic] I think it is who treats/ Of Ghosts, in days of old,/ Who 'gibbered in the Roman streets". Introduced by a variety of writers, artists and other guests, the Scottish Poetry Library’s classic poem selections are a reminder of wonderful poems to rediscover.Though the poem contains many nonsensical words, English syntax and poetic forms are observed, such as the quatrain verses, the general ABAB rhyme scheme and the iambic meter. [30] Linguist Peter Lucas believes the "nonsense" term is inaccurate. The poem relies on a distortion of sense rather than "non-sense", allowing the reader to infer meaning and therefore engage with narrative while lexical allusions swim under the surface of the poem. [10] [31] Era la asarvesperia y los flexilimosos toves giroscopiaban taledrando en el vade; debilmiseros estaban los borogoves; bramatchisilban los verdilechos parde. All the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe. Some mome raths are slithy toves. Hence some mome raths did gyre and gimble in the wabe. Frumious: Combination of "fuming" and "furious". In the Preface to The Hunting of the Snark Carroll comments, "[T]ake the two words 'fuming' and 'furious'. Make up your mind that you will say both words, but leave it unsettled which you will say first. Now open your mouth and speak. If your thoughts incline ever so little towards 'fuming', you will say 'fuming-furious'; if they turn, by even a hair's breadth, towards 'furious', you will say 'furious-fuming'; but if you have the rarest of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind, you will say 'frumious'."
