Yeats

 YEATS


Once, while riding in a carriage,

William Butler Yeats proposed marriage

To the beautiful Maud Gonne,

Of whom he was quite fond.

            **********

She sternly turned him down,

Whereupon Yeats turned around

And proposed to her daughter.

She spurned him with her laughter.
