Well, just to continue, on a slightly oblique tangent to the songs one, here's some lines of poetry, please name poet and poem. Only one poem per poet (where the poet is known!).

1)Bullock starteth, bucke farteth
2)These pretty pleasures might me move
3)This loam, this roughcast and this stone doth show
4)Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?
5)Two hundred to adore each breast;
6)A being darkly wise, and rudely great;
7)Among these dark Satanic Mills?
8)We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
9)A savage place! as holy and enchanted
10)And Belgium's Capital had gathered then
11)The sods, with our bayonets turning,
12)The lone and level sands stretch far away.
13)A jug of wine, A loaf of bread- and Thou
14) That clothe the wold, and meet the sky;
15) Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!
16) He took his vorpal blade in hand:
17)Home is the sailor, home from sea,
18)And blood and wine were on his hands
19)I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach
20)The Brides of Death that wait the groom

Rules- No googling, but books are fine ;)
