"I mend the fyre and beikit me about,
Than tuik ane drink, my spreitis to comfort,
And armit me weill fra the cauld thairout.
To cut the winter nicht and mak it schort
I tuik ane quair- and left all uther sport-
Writtin be worthie Chaucer glorious,
Of fair Creisseid and worthie Troylus." - 'The Testament of Cresseid'

"I enjoyed the work because Henryson's language led me back into what might be called 'the hidden Scotland' at the back of my own ear. The speech I grew up with in mid-Ulster carried more than a trace of Scots (...) I was therefore entirely at home with Henryson's 'sound of sense', so much in tune with his note and pace and his pitch that I developed a strong inclination to hum along with him." - Seamus Heaney

Becoming more and more convinced that Henryson will show up in the dissertation. Maybe chapter 4.
