A PUZZLE BY LEWIS CARROLL

John gave his brother James a box: 
About it there were many locks. 
James woke and said it gave him pain; 
So gave it back to John again. 
The box was not with lid supplied 
Yet caused two lids to open wide: 
And all these locks had never a key 
What kind of box, then, could it be?

Please do not give the answer in the comments.  Just say whether you solved the puzzle or not.
