A poetry quiz

In this quiz I have shown three pieces of information which makes it a double quiz (trying to fit all the columns across the page doesn't work so it's a two part quiz).  The first quiz is the excerpts from the poems that are to be matched to the poems' titles.  The second half of the quiz has the titles that you have to match with the poets.  I decided not to use the entire poem; that might have been too easy.  Many poems have the title embedded in them.  If an poet's name appears twice it is because I have listed two poems by that poet.  There are also three unknown poets.

 

As always, when you are through or give up, scroll down to see the answers.  Let's see how well you can do.  If you would like to post how many you were able to answer in a comment to this musing, feel free to do so.  Here we go:

 

 

A01	I am the master of my fate:
	I am the captain of my soul.	B01	Do Not Go Gentle Into  That Good Night
A02	Of shoes--and ships--and sealing wax--
	Of cabbages--and kings—
	And why the sea is boiling hot--
	And whether pigs have wings.	B02	Ecclesiastes 3
A03	To everything there is a season,
	A time for every purpose under heaven;	B03	Fast Rode the Knight
A04	I took the one less traveled by,
	And that has made all the difference.	B04	How Do I Love Thee
A05	Love is very patient and kind,
	never jealous or envious, never
	boastful or proud, never haughty
	or selfish or rude	B05	I Corinthians 13
A06	A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye
	A doleful damsel I heard cry,	B06	If You Forget Me
A07	Let me not to the marriage of true minds
	Admit impediments.	B07	Invictus
A08	Once upon a midnight dreary,
	while I pondered, weak and weary,	B08	Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye
A09	But I have promises to keep,
	And miles to go before I sleep,	B09	Little Boy Blue
A10	Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
	Who intimately lives with rain.	B10	Oh Captain, My Captain
A11	Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
	Rage, rage against the dying of the light.	B11	Sonnets CXVI
A12	Well, now,
	if little by little you stop loving me
	I shall stop loving you little by little	B12	Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
A13	A horse,
	Blowing, staggering, bloody thing,
	Forgotten at foot of castle wall.
	A horse
	Dead at foot of castle wall.	B13	The Arrow and the Song
A14	...our fearful trip is done;
	The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
	The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
	While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring	B14	The Raven
A15	We, unaccustomed to courage
	exiles from delight
	live coiled in shells of loneliness
	until love leaves its high holy temple
	and comes into our sight
	to liberate us into life	B15	The Road not Taken
A16	I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
	With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
	Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
	I shall but love thee better after death.	B16	The Walrus and the Carpenter
A17	Rowing in Eden
	Ah, the sea.
	Might I  but moor
	Tonight with thee!	B17	To His Coy Mistress
A18	Had we but world enough, and time,
	This coyness, lady, were no crime.
	We would sit down and think which way
	To walk, and pass our long love's day;	B18	Touched By An Angel
A19	Now, don't you go till I come," he said,
	"And don't you make any noise!"
	So, toddling off to his trundle-bed,
	He dreamt of the pretty toys;	B19	Trees
A20	I breathed a song into the air,
	It fell to earth, I knew not where;
	For who has sight so keen and strong,
	That it can follow the flight of song?	B20	Wild Nights
