- Burgon's claim to fame, among the non-theological at any rate, is his Newdigate Prize poem Petra. The long poem, in rhymed couplets, is rarely read but lives because of the oft-quoted last two lines -
Match me such marvel save in Eastern clime,
a rose-red city half as old as time.
Despite his Middle-Eastern birth, Burgon had never seen Petra.
The poem was parodied by Peter Sellers in his Balham sketch, ending "a Rose-red city half as Golders Green."
