Reading edition
Texts, s.v. Lyndsay. The only other fragment of the Scottish drama under James IV is that ascribed to Dunbar (Works, ed. Scot. Text Soc., ii. 314). In one MS. this is headed ‘Ane Littill Interlud of the Droichis Part of the [Play] but in another Heir followis the maner of the crying of ane playe. Both have the colophon. Finis off the Droichis Pairt of the Play. From internal evidence the piece is a cry or banes. Ll. 138-41 show that it was for a May-game:
‘ȝe noble merchandis ever ilkane Address ȝow furth with bow and flane In lusty grene lufraye, And follow furth on Robyn Hude.’
