The Green Helmet and Other Poems
To A Poet, Who Would Have Me Praise
Certain Bad Poets, Imitators Of His And Mine

by William Butler Yeats

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 was there ever dog that praised his fleas?
