Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock. I want to recite it to someone but it is very long, hard for modern ears to understand and I am afraid most people would be bored. It takes an hour to recite. I also have memorized T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land and The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, Wordworth's Tintern Abbey, Andrew Marvell's To His Coy Mistress, Ozymandias, a couple of Shakespeare sonnets and others. I take a photo-copied page with me to memorize when I go walking.
