A little garden little Jowett made,
And fenced it with a little palisade;
A little taste hath little Dr. Jowett;
This little garden doth a little show it.

Notes from Wikiquote

[There is a longer version of this jeu d'esprit:— | A little garden little Jowett made, And fenced it with a little palisade; Because this garden made a little talk, He changed it to a little gravel walk: And now, if more you 'd know of little Jowett, A little time, it will a little show it. | See the Life of Richard Porson, by J. Selby Watson (1861)]
