whose limericks stopped at line four

Bad rhythm. Should be “whose limericks would stop at line four”

That depends on whether you treat "limericks" as a trochee (long-short, i.e. "lim-ricks") or a dactyl (long-short-short, i.e. "lim-er-icks").

Who'd school any with whom he did spar

Whether trochee or dactyl

master of prosody, unflappable.
