Does anybody remember the episode where Jerry got Elaine $ 162 for her birthday, and George, since he could only give half, gave $ 81? Kramer, on the other hand, got her the bench she really wanted, along with a card with a poem by Yeats (at least according to Cosmo...). The poem ends with something like; "that I should have such a friend.", and Elaine is of course moved to tears. Does anybody know this poem, or at least what it's called, whether it actually is Yeats, what episode this was, and/or where I can find the script for it? Hope someone here can help.

I do not know the name of the poem but the lines in the card were:

"Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends." - W.B. Yeats.

While you're at it, you may as well put in that poem that Newman wrote for Kramer to serenade Jerry's girlfriend Pam: "...before the other shoe fell."
