The dean of Christ Church, John Fell (1625–1686), who later went on to become the Bishop of Oxford, expelled Brown; but offered to take him back if he passed a test. If Brown could extemporaneously translate the thirty-second epigram of Martial (a well known Roman epigramist), his expulsion would be cancelled. The epigram in Latin is as follows: {{quote|{{lang|la|Hoc tantum possum dicere: non amo te.[3] A literal English translation is: {{quote|I do not like you, Sabidius, and I can't say why. This much I can say: I do not like you.}}Brown made the impromptu English translation which became the verse: {{quote|I do not like thee, Doctor Fell, The reason why – I cannot tell; But this I know, and know full well, I do not like thee, Doctor Fell.[3] RecognitionThe rhyme "I do not like thee, Doctor Fell" was not treated as a nursery rhyme, or included in Mother Goose collections, until 1926, following the rhyme's inclusion in "Less-Familiar Nursery Rhymes" by Robert Graves of I, Claudius fame.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} References1. ^{{cite book|last= Brewer|first=Ebenezer Cobham|title=The Wordsworth Dictionary of Phrase and Fable|publisher=Wordsworth Editions|year=2001|series=Wordsworth Reference Series|pages=346|isbn=978-1-84022-310-1|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IgjAJazrBWwC&pg=PA346}} 2. ^{{Citation|last = Jacox |first = Francis |title = On not liking Dr Fell; and the reason why |journal = The New Monthly Magazine |volume = 137 |year = 1866 |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=Jz4FAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA417}} 3. ^1 {{Cite book |first=I. |last=Opie |lastauthoramp=yes |first2=P. |last2=Opie |title=The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes |location= |publisher=Oxford University Press |origyear=1951 |edition=2nd |year=1997 |page=169 |isbn=0-19-860088-7 }} 2 : 1680s poems|English nursery rhymes |
