See also:JOHN See also:ROLLAND (fl. 1560)
, Scottish poet, appears to have been a See also:priest of the See also:diocese of See also:Glasgow, and to have been known in See also:Dalkeith in 1555
.
He is the author of two poems, the See also:Court of See also:Venus and a See also:translation of the Seven Sages
.
The former, which was printed by See also:John See also:Ros in i 575, may have been written before 156o
.
The latter was translated from a Scots See also:prose version at the See also:suggestion of an aunt (" ane proper wenche "), who had found his treatment of the courtly See also:allegory involved and uninteresting
.
The Court of Venus was edited by See also:Walter Gregor for the S.T.S. in 1884

The Seven Sages was printed in 1578, and frequently during the earlier decades of the 17th See also:century
.
It was reprinted by See also:David See also:Laing for the See also:Bannatyne See also:Club (1837)
.
See also:Sibbald, in his See also:Chronicle of Scottish See also:Poetry (iii
.
287), hinted that See also:Rolland may be the author of the Thrie Priestis of Peblis
.
There is not a scrap of See also:evidence in support of this; and there are many strong reasons against the ascription
