Blake, maybe, is going to one in the morning (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

william

'blake maybe' is the definition.
(poet William Blake)

'is going to one in the morning' is the wordplay.
'is going to' becomes 'will' (John is going to eat/John will eat).
'one in the morning' becomes 'Iam' (1am).
'will'+'iam'='WILLIAM'

(Other definitions for william that I've seen before include "Boy's name" , "Bill" , "I am a weakish speller (anag) -- author" , "-- Caxton, early printer" , "- - Wordsworth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
