The poem, entitled the Buke of the Howlat, written about 1450, shows his devotion to the See also:house of Douglas:
" On ilk beugh till embrace
Writtin in a See also:bill was
0 Dowglass, 0 Dowglass
See also:Tender and trewe!"
(ii
.
400-403)
.
and is dedicated to the wife of a Douglas
" Thus for ane See also:Dow of See also:Dunbar See also:drew I this Dyte,
Dowit with ane Dowglass, and boith See also:war thei dowis."
but all theories of its being a See also:political See also:allegory in favour of that house may be discarded
.
See also:Sir See also:Walter See also:Scott's See also:judgment that the Buke is " a poetical See also:apologue
.
. . without any view whatever to See also:local or natural politics " is certainly the most reasonable
.
The poem, which extends to See also:fool lines written in the irregular alliterative rhymed See also:stanza, is a See also:bird-allegory, of the type See also:familiar in the Parlemsnt of Foules
.
It has the incidental See also:interest of showing (especially in stanzas 62 and 63) the antipathy of the " See also:Inglis-speaking See also:Scot " to the " Scots-speaking Gael " of the See also:west, as is also shown in Dunbar's Flyting with See also:Kennedy
