(In recognition that 1987 sees the 500th anniversary of the birth of Robert Carver (1487–c. 1566), generally considered the greatest Scottish composer of the Renaissance, we append a poem by a founder-member of the modern-day Carver Choir of Aberdeen. Dr. Reid-Baxter has written in Carver's own tongue, the aureate Scots of the late Middle Ages. After due consideration, we have forborne to provide translation or glossary, since enough of TEMPO'S readers should be acquainted with such major figures of British literature as Robert Henryson, William Ounbar, and Gavin Douglas.)
