No. 1617: Jigsaw

This is an old chestnut which I have resisted for nine years, but a correspondent has persuaded me. A poem, please (max- imum 16 lines), in which each line is a line of an already known poem. Logical sense, of course, may prove impossible. Please quote source of each tine. Entries to 'Competition No. 1617' by 16 March.
