2nd Stanza
"Ignorant good-will"- describes Constance Markievicz, oxymoron shows a mixed view on her, believes she had good intentions but they are misplaced, arguing and fighting destroyed her sweetness
"our winged horse" - pegasus, image of the greek horse, very positive (triumph not as rebels)
"He might have won fame in the end" - Patrick Pearce- could have been renowned/famous for his writing/teaching (Arts), Yeats appreciation for the arts
"A drunken vainglorious lout"- extremely negative tone, towards him, Maud Gonne's husband.
"Transformed utterly"- emphasises the extent of the change
