Text Appearing Before Image:
ach :We cannot do with more than four, To give a hand to each! The eldest Oyster looked at him, But never a word he said:The eldest Oyster winked his eye, And shook his heavy head-Meaning to say he did not choose To leave the oyster-bed. But four young Oysters hurried up, All eager for the treat:Their coats were brushed, their faces washed, Their shoes were clean and neat-—- AND TWEEDLEDEE. 75 Aiid this was odd, because, you knoiv,They hadnt any feet. Four other Oysters followed them, And yet another four;And thick and fast they came at last, And more, and more, and more—All hopping through the frothy waves, And scrambling to the shore. The Walrus and the CarpenterWalked on a mile or so, And then they rested on a rockConveniently low: And all the little Oysters stoodAnd waited in a row. The time has come the Walrus said, To talk of many things :Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax- Of cabbages—and kings- 76 TWEEDLEDUM And why the sea is boiling hot-And whether pigs have wings!

But wait a bit the Oysters cried, Before we have our chat; For sortie of us are out of breath,And all of us are fat! No hurry ! said the Carpenter.They thanked him much for that. loaf of bread! the Walrus said, Is what ive chiefly need: AND TWEEDLEDEE. 77 Pepper and vinegar besides Are very good indeed-Noiv, if youre ready, Oysters dear, We can begin to feed. But not on us! the Oysters cried, Turning a little blue. After such kindness, that ivould be A dismal thing to do ! The night is fine, the Walrus sa id. 1 Do you admire the vieiu ? It was so kind of you to come! And you are very nice!The Carpenter said nothing but 1 Cut us another slice.I ivish you ivere not quite so deuf- Ive had to ask you twice! It seems a shame, the Walrus said, To play them such a trick. 78 TWEEDLEDUM After we ve brought them out so far,And made them trot so quick ! The Carpenter said nothing but The butter s spread too thick !
