Made up by John Hegley on BBC Radio 4 afew years ago, to commemorate the anniversary of some historical figure. I can't remember who. Any guesses?

There once was an olive-skinned man
Who came from Rome, not Milan.
He went somewhere hotter
And before long he got a
Bite from an Anopheles mosquito before antimalarials had even began.
