I am surprised not one of your correspondents has noticed the anagram by George Herbert on Roma. As it is a good specimen of what may be called "learned trifling" I subjoin a copy of it:—
"Roma dabit oram, Maro,
Ramo, armo, mora, et amor.

"Roma tuum nomen quam non pertransiit Oram
Cum Latium ferrent sæcula prisca jugum?
Non deerat vel fama tibi, vel carmina famæ,
Unde Maro laudes duxit ad astra tuas.
At nunc exsucco similis tua gloria Ramo
A veteri trunco et nobilitate cadit.
