These clues each point to a famous line of poetry. Would be grateful for any assistance.

Passion again at bedtime ( 4,4,7,3,5,2,3,5 )
A thief calls for a pint ( 3,10,4,6,2,3,3,3,3,4 )
Where is the receptionist ( 2,5,7,5,4,3,9 )
Time out everywhere ( 4,3,3,5 )

For that last one, one of the most famous lines in poetry these days, following a certain film funeral, is Stop All The Clocks, which fits the clue. I am seriously of the opinion that the compiler has miscounted, unless anyone can find an alternative 4,3,3,5. I've not seen this sort of puzzle on here before so I'd love to see what you all can do.

Just another thouight, quizmonster. Are you a poetry geek, or have you got some useful websites ??

Except that you have a 3 for the 'to'
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn door
I'm not a 'poetry geek', Phil, though I am familiar with many poems, and I did not consult any website for the answers. Somehow, though I had never seen the questions before 17:11 this afternoon, I just 'saw' the answers straight away. The 'pint' one had me beat, though Muffet, I see, has got it.

Many thanks - very impressive responses. As no-one has yet commented upon the fourth one, I assume you all agree with my analysis.
