ODO TENET MULUM, MADIDAM MAPPAM TENET ANNA

[Odo, holding Master Doctor’s mule, and Anne with her tablecloth]

The above line is said, in an old book, to have ‘cost the inventor much foolish labor, for it is perfect verse, and every word is the very same both backward and forward.’

— Frank H. Stauffer, The Queer, the Quaint and the Quizzical, 1882
