Posted by jason at November 16, 2002 09:50 PMThought you might like a few Latin versions of "Jabberwocky":
1. Gabrobocchia [author unknown]
Est brilgum: tovi slimici
In vabo tererotitant
Brogovi sunt macresculi
Momi rasti strugitant.
"Fuge Gabrobocchia, fili mi,
Qui fero lacerat morsu:
Diffide Iubiubae avi
Es procul ab Unguimanu."
Vorpalem ensem extulit;
Hostem quaesivit manximum;
Tumtumi stirpi astitit
Et extudit consilium.
Subtectim consultante eo
En, Gabrobocchia flammifer
Ex luco sprinxit tulgido
Perbullans usque ugriter.
Tum semel, bis et iterum
Vorpale ferrum pupugit.
Necati caput exanimum
Citumphans retro rettulit.
"Num Gabrobocchia periit?
Gaudiferum amplectar te!
Dies frabiosus! graustussit!"
Suffremuit praehilare.
Est brilgum: tovi slimici
In vabo tererotitant
Brogovi sunt macresculi
Momi rasti strugitant.
