Crack to Back

From The Ultimate Christmas Cracker (2019), compiled by John Julius Norwich:

Useful Palindromes

What other words would spring to the lips when break­ing the news of the death of a prize herd of cat­tle, smit­ten with in­fec­tive epilepsy?

Stiff, O dairy­man! In a myr­iad of fits!

Dr Barnardo mak­ing out the menus:

Desserts I de­sire not, so long no lost one rise dis­tressed.

The re­buke of the high-prin­ci­pled lady to her rich Nor­man lover:

Di­a­mond light, Odo, doth gild no maid.
