Which choice is a Limerick Poem?

• There was an Old Man of Nantucket
  Who kept all his cash in a bucket.

  And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
  - Anonymous
• That at the last, and in short time, I spide,
  Under a rocke, where she alas, opprest,
  Fell to the ground, and there untimely dide.
  Cruell death vanquishing so noble beautie
  Oft makes me wayle so hard a desire.(Trans. Edmund Spenser)
• Light do I see within my Lady’s eyes
  And loving spirits in its plenisphere
  Which bear in strange delight on my heart’s care
  Till Joy’s awakened from that sepulchre.
