It would ruin the game if he labelled the texts. Even if one cannot spot the poet right away, guessing based on one's sense of the style or thematic focus would be not just a game but a useful exercise. (Ever give identification tests? I always hated taking them, but once I was fortunate enough to write such a convincing description of the reasons why I incorrectly identified a poem as perhaps pre-Raphaelite, perhaps Rossetti or Morris, that I was given credit for the answer even though it was off by 2 centuries.)
