THE WALRUS AND THE CARPENTER.            43
" If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for half a year, Do you suppose," the Walrus said, " That they could get it clear ? " '" I doubt it," said the Carpenter, And shed a bitter tear.
" O Oysters, come and walk with us \"
The Walrus did beseech. " A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach: 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.
