Quote:
Dunbar's masterpiece is his 'Lament for the Makars (when he was seik)'. I'm sure you can look it up. The Scots isn't difficult. Or perhaps it is.
Makars are poets.

Thanks for enlightening me, John. I've never heard the term 'makars' for poets. Some of the Scots is a bit tricky, such as:
I see that makaris amang the lave
Playis here their padyanis, syne gois to grave;
I know you have a Scottish connection and maybe you like this poem but 'masterpiece' isn't the word I'd use for it. I'm not a fan of Burns either; I guess it's because I struggle with the dialect that it has little appeal for me, sorry.
