' The reader may consult with advantage an article on Dunbar's writings in Mr. Wright's Essays on the Middle Ages, vol. Ii. P. 291. ' The poems of Dunbar are chiefly contained in two MSS. , of which one, called the Bannatyne MS. , is described in ' Memorials of George Bannatyne, 1546-1698;' Edinburgh, 1829. This MS. Was written out by Bannatyne in 1548. The second, or Maitland MS. ..., is in the Pepysian Library at Cambridge, and is described by Pinkerton in his 'Ancient Scottish Poems ' Some account of the marriage of James IV is given in Leland's Collectanea, vol. Iii. P. 265, ed. 1770; see also Irving's Lives of Scottish Poets, i. 203.
