This collection brings together the poetic works of a prominent Scottish poet from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, known for his keen wit and masterful command of Middle Scots. The poems range from the humorous to the somber, offering a rich tapestry of themes that include moral and religious reflections, satirical commentary on the court and society of his time, and deeply personal musings.
