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

    't Is neazich en sa bjusterbaerlik 
    n\'edich wolle hja nei 't h\'uske ta. 
    Op syk nei smoek en h\'uslik. 
    De earrebarren sykje fan komsa.

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

    Tink om 'e wauwelwyk myn bern, 
    sa wyld fan klau en wreed.

    en skopt jimm' foar de reet.
