The Latin Author Lucan

A.E. Housman, Miscellaneous Verses, Chiefly Educational, [iv]:
The Latin author Lucan
When bitten by a toucan,
  Exclaimed in anguish "O!
That bird must have been frantic
To cross the broad Atlantic
  From distant Mexico,
And come to ancient Rome,
And bite me in my home,
And make me cry in anguish
And in the Latin language
O!"
