The use of this strange language may be used by the author in order to show that the world in which this story takes place is very disconnected from our real world of science and rational.

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
              Long time the manxome foe he sought–
            So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
              And stood awhile in thought.

I picture the Vorpal Sword as having a blade that is white rather than the Iron gray, also with a handle constructed in a way that it looks very similar to tree branches, as well as emitting a type of shinning radiance

’And has hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Reason: Carroll was too much the scholar to make the grammatical error of writing "has thou". Check your print copy or use Amazon's Look Inside feature to confirm he wrote "hast thou".
