Alice said ; but was dreadfully puzzled by the whole thing , and longed to change the subject . ` Go on with the next verse , ' the Gryphon repeated impatiently : ` it begins `` I passed by his garden . '' ' Alice did not dare to disobey , though she felt sure it would all come wrong , and she went on in a trembling voice : -- ' I passed by his garden , and marked , with one eye , How the Owl and the Panther were sharing a pie -- ' -LSB- later editions continued as follows The Panther took pie-crust , and gravy , and meat , While the Owl had the dish as its share of the treat . When the pie was all finished , the Owl , as a boon , Was kindly permitted to pocket the spoon : While the Panther received knife and fork with a growl , And concluded the banquet -- -RSB- ` What IS the use of repeating all that stuff , ' the Mock Turtle interrupted , ` if you do n't explain it as you go on ? It 's by far the most confusing thing I ever heard ! ' ` Yes , I think you 'd better leave off , ' said the Gryphon : and Alice was only too glad to do so . ` Shall we try another figure of the Lobster Quadrille ? ' the Gryphon went on . ` Or would you like the Mock Turtle to sing you a song ? ' ` Oh , a song , please , if the Mock Turtle would be so kind , ' Alice replied , so eagerly that the Gryphon said , in a rather offended tone , ` Hm ! No accounting for tastes ! Sing her `` Turtle Soup , '' will you , old fellow ? ' The Mock Turtle sighed deeply , and began , in a voice sometimes choked with sobs , to sing this : -- ` Beautiful Soup , so rich and green , Waiting in a hot tureen ! Who for such dainties would not stoop ? Soup of the evening , beautiful Soup ! Soup of the evening , beautiful Soup ! Beau -- ootiful Soo -- oop ! Beau -- ootiful Soo -- oop ! Soo -- oop of the e -- e -- evening , Beautiful , beautiful Soup ! ` Beautiful Soup !
