\vbox to 4\lineheight \bgroup
       title 1
       author x y
      \vfill
\egroup

will do that; ok, you may add some strutdepth or so:

\vbox to 4\lineheight \bgroup
       title 1
       author x y
      \vfill
\egroup
\vskip-\prevdepth
\vskip-\lineheight
\strut \par

you can also use \framed[lines=4,align=normal]{...}
