Probably the Roman poet Virgil, but you must read his work in the original Latin to truly appreciate it.

from the Georgics, Book I:

Quid faciat laetas segetes, quo sidere terram

vertere, Maecenas, ulmisque adiungere vitis

conveniat, quae cura boum, qui cultus habendo

sit pecori, apibus quanta experientia parcis,


In the English language, Shakespeare:

Sonnet 18:

XVIII.

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

Would be the scottish poet Rabbie Burns
Wee crimson tippit(tipped)flooir(flower)
I hast met thee in an evil oor(hour)
For I mun(must) crush among the stoor(dust)

Edgar Allan Poe!

Annabel Lee--

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

Shakespeare.
But soft what light though yonder window breaks. It is the east and Juliet is the sun, arise fair sun and kill the envious moon. Who is already sick and pale with grief that that thou, her maid art far more fair than she.
Act 2 scene 2 .Romeo and Juliet

Homer. The Iliad and the Odyssey. I don't have a copy handy, so I can't quote you anything.
