Farewell, farewell! but this I tell / To thee, thou Wedding-Guest!

No burial these prettye babes ...
Their prettye lippes with blackberries ...
The other would not agree thereto ...
Yet one of them, more hard of heart ...
He had not kept these pretty babes ...
Where much of them he makes
"God never prosper me nor mine ..."
In one another's arms they dyed
These prettye babes, with hand in hand
And he that was of mildest mood did slaye the other there
Their parents being dead & gone, the children home he takes
Sore sicke they were, and like to dye

Tittivulus encounters Dr Johnson
Lewis Carroll meets a Bandersnatch
Demons sweeping up scattered sentiments
The newspaper lay across his knees
The bird looked at him when he spoke
The old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon as high as he could
He seemed to hang in the air above the old man in the skiff
The shark closed fast astern
Supporting each man on the top of the tide / By a finger entwined in his hair
They roused him with muffins - they roused him with ice
"And you'd best be unpacking the things that you need / To rig yourselves out for the fight."
A Bandersnatch swiftly drew nigh

Linda looked on, vaguely and uncomprehendingly smiling
