PALINDROMUS, a verse or sentence which runs the same when read either backwards or forwards. Such is the verse,
Roma tibi solito multus ibis ante.
Some people of leisure have refined upon the Palindromus, and composed verses, each word of which is the same backwards as forwards; for instance, that of Camden:
Ode tenet malum, madidam mappam tenet Anna.
Anna tenet mappam madidam, malum tenet Ode.
