To W. B. Yeats Who Says That His Castle of Ballylee Is His Monument
To stones trust not your monument
To make a living fame endure.
Who built Dun Angus battlement?
O'Flaherty is forgotten in Auchnanure.
And he who told how Troy was sacked
And what men clipt the lovely Burd,
Had seven Mayors to swear, in fact,
Their towns first heard his babbling word.

And he who told how Troy was sacked
And what men clipt the lovely Burd,
