One of these love poems has the opening line: 'Come live with me and be my love,' What was the next line of verse? And we will be the treasure trove And we will constant prove And never care about reprove And we will all the pleasures prove

4. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote several short poems and anthologies especially for young people. This first line is one of only two in such a poem. This is the first line, what was the second? 'The world is so full of a number of things,' I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings. I can hardly wait to see what the future brings. I'm sure we could all wear bracelets and rings. Including children at play on their swings.

10. 'The Curfew tolls the knell of parting day,' is the line of verse which opens one of the most famous poems in English Literature. What is the next line, do you know?
