"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
"Fair lady at the shuttle" refers to a phrase from the poem "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred Lord Tennyson. In the poem, the "fair lady" is a woman who weaves at her loom, symbolizing creativity and isolation. The "shuttle" represents the act of weaving, which is tied to her fate and connection to the outside world. Ultimately, her longing to engage with life beyond her confines leads to tragic consequences.
