Damn it, I can remember the scene, but the limerick doesn't immediately come
to mind. Now I have to get up.

Hmm, on page 33 and 34 in this copy:

"The judgements that you tend to pass,
On poets you wish to harass,
Would give me to swear,
Were I unaware,
That you are naught but an asset to the Heaenly throne, wherefore I leave
you alone."
