Translated into Highspyanese:
Fit the Fifth. The Beaver’s Lesson
“Taking Three as the subject to reason about —
A convenient number to state —
We add Seven, and Ten, and then multiply out
By One Thousand diminished by Eight.
“The result we proceed to divide, as you see,
By Nine Hundred and Ninety Two:
Then subtract Seventeen, and the answer must be
Exactly and perfectly true…”
(from Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark)
