William Butler Yeats (Уильям Батлер Йейтс)

To a Poet, Who Would Have Me Praise Certain Bad Poets, Imitators of His and Mine

You say, as I have often given tongue
In praise of what another's said or sung,
'Twere politic to do the like by these;
But have you known a dog to praise his fleas?

1. The Mask
2. Upon a House Shaken by the Land Agitation
3. These Are the Clouds
4. A Friend's Illness
5. On Hearing That the Students of Our New University Have Joined the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Agitation against Immoral Literature
