In the order that I thought of them -- roughly chronological. I ain't ranking them. I miss Trung.)
Anonymous (dude wrote some amazing stuff)
Geoffrey Chaucer
Virgil/Vergil (2000 years later we still can't decide how to spell the dude's name. This is Gaddhafi-level stuff)
Ovid
Horace
Aristophanes
Homer
Shakespeare
Pope
Milton
Blake
Cowper
Wordsworth
Keats
Shelley
Byron
Housman
Coleridge
Yeats
Ogden Nash
Uh thinking is hard right now. Most of these I haven't read in some instances since they were assigned in a class. I've forgotten a lot from that class but I do know I didn't really care for Tennyson. Only included what I've read in the original.
