Book rhyme
A book rhyme is a short poem or rhyme that was formerly printed inside the front of a book or on the flyleaf to discourage theft (similar to a book curse) or to indicate ownership.
Book rhymes were fairly common in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries, but the printing of bookplates pushed them out of use.
One of the most common is:
If this book you steal away,
What will you say
On Judgment Day?
An example of a common style of identification rhyme is:
Everytown is my dwelling-place
America is my nation
John Smith is my name
The end line has several variations:
And Christ is my salvation
And heaven my expectation
