"My Fair Lady" is a musical (and film), not a poem. It was first staged in 1956 and is based on G. Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion" (1913), which is inspired by a Greek myth. Some believe that Professor Henry Higgins was based on the phonetician and linguist Henry Sweet (1845-1912). (There is also speculation that the character of Eliza Doolittle was inspired by Grace Taylor, the wife of Sabine Baring-Gould, but there is no firm evidence for this). Baring-Gould is nowadays probably best known for his hymn 'Onward, Christian Soldiers'.
Joncey: This is very accurate information, but it strikes me that this question is
actually wondering about the poem/children's nursery rhyme "London Bridge is Falling Down,"
which ends with the words, "My fair lady." -- Sharon Lee
