"I said it in Hebrew - I said it in Dutch - I said it in German and Greek."

This is a great nonsensical tale that probably will need an annotated version to make sense. Not the purpose, as that is in the title. But of the few words that are real but archaic. In any sense, this is a fun read. I want to believe it holds some profound secret other than just a play on words. "They sought it with Thimbles; they sought it with care. They threatened its life with forks and hope. They threatened its life with a railway share. They charmed it with smiles and soap." You will want to re-read "The Hunting of the Snark an Agony, in Eight Fits" (1876) and see with other allegorical nonsense you missed.
