For those of you with a GED, thinking it stood for "Greatly Educated Dude," this cache is not for you. For those of you who were told you were smart as a kid, yet struggled through "Intro to Geometry," this cache is not for you. For those of you with a PhD, but better things to do in your day, this cache is not for you. For those suffering from anemia, this cache is not for you. But to those select few who are willing to answer the call, to face my challenge, to those who think their intellect matches Einstein, to those who really have no life, this cache is for you! But be warned: this cache will take more than just brains to solve. Bring some brawn, for to find the cache, you must cross perilous rapids infested with blood thirsty blood suckers. Yes, lawyers can do this cache too. Good luck.

How many literary figures are mentioned in the following poem? (Hint: there are less than 16 mentioned in 16 lines) =Q
The noblest name in Allegory’s page,
The hand that traced inexorable rage;
A pleasing moralist whose page refined,
Displays the deepest knowledge of the mind;
A tender poet of a foreign tongue,
(Indited in the language that he sung.)
A bard of brilliant but unlicensed page
At once the shame and glory of our age,
The prince of harmony and stirling sense,
The ancient dramatist of eminence,
The bard that paints imagination’s powers,
And him whose song revives departed hours,
Once more an ancient tragic bard recall,
In boldness of design surpassing all.
These names when rightly read, a name [make] known
Which gathers all their glories in its own.
