[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Ratis Raving, and Other Moral and Religious Pieces: In Prose and Verse Part 6. (1.) The Craft of Deyng. (2.) Ballad of Maxims. (3.) Chaucer's "Flee from the press." (4.) Ballad attributed to King James I. of Scotland. (5.) Song. (6.) Dicta Salomonis. (7.) Advice of a Father to his Son (Ratis Raving). (8.) The foly of fulys and the Thewis of Wysmen. (9.) Consail and Teiching at the vys man gaif his sone. (10.) The Thewis of Gud women. (11.) The Vertewis of the Mess. Part 7. Sir Lancelot of the Lak. (Printed by E. E. Text Society.) Note. - 6 and 7 are in the same handwriting. Part 8. Miscellaneous extracts of Scottish Laws. The present volume contains all the pieces included in Part 6 of the divided MS. It is written by the same hand, and is in the same Lowland Scottish dialect as the Lancelot, already edited by Mr. Skeat. The first piece is a religious treatise in prose, called the "Craft of Deyng," and consists of directions and exhortations to be in preparation for death. At its commencement it exactly corresponds (except in dialect) to a MS. in the Cambridge University Library (Ff. 5, 45), also called "De Crafte of Deyinge," which is ascribed in a modern hand to Hampole, but which an allusion made in the body of the work to the "Chaunceler of Parys" (i.e. John Gerson, who was appointed in 1395) shows could not have been Hampole's. The second is a Ballad of Maxims, of which the most striking feature is the abundance of alliteration it contains. Next is a Scottish version of Chaucer's well-known ballad, "Flee from the press."
