[79] In the Notes on the poems _Against Garnesche_ I have cited several parallel expressions from _The Flyting of Dunbar and Kennedy_. That curious production may be found in the valuable edition of Dunbar’s _Poems_ (ii. 65) by Mr. D. Laing, who supposes it to have been written between 1492 and 1497 (ii. 420). It therefore preceded the “flyting” of Skelton and Garnesche. I may add, that the last portion of our author’s _Speke, Parrot_ bears a considerable resemblance to a copy of verses attributed to Dunbar, and entitled _A General Satyre_ (_Poems_, ii. 24); and that as the great Scottish poet visited England more than once, it is probable that he and Skelton were personally acquainted. [80] At a later period there was a poetical “flyting” between Churchyard and a person named Camel, who had attacked a publication of the former called _Davie Dicars Dreame_; and some other writers took a part in the controversy: these rare pieces (known only by their titles to Ritson, _Bibliog. Poet._ p. 151, and to Chalmers, _Life of Churchyard_, p. 53) are very dull and pointless, but were evidently put forth in earnest. [81] In the first poem _Against Garnesche_ he is called _“Master_:” but see Notes, vol. ii. 177. [82] Hall’s _Chron. (vi. yere Hen. viii.)_, fol. xlviii. ed. 1548. [83] _MS. Cott. Calig. B._ vi. fol. 112. [84] _Auditor’s Calendar of Files from 1485 to 1522_, fol. 108 (b). [85] _Privy Purse Accounts, A._ 5. 16. p. 21. [86] _Auditor’s Calendar_, &c. fol. 162 (b). [87] _Auditor’s Patent Book, No. 1._ fol. 6 (b). [88] In an account of the visit of the Emperor Charles the Fifth to England in June 1522, among the lodgings which were occupied on that occasion at Greenwich we find mention of “Master Garnyshe house.” See _Rutland Papers_, p. 82 (printed for the Camden Society). That a knight was frequently called “Master,” I have shewn in Notes, vol. ii. 178. [89] _Privy Purse Accounts, A._ 5. 17. p. 175. [90] _Teller’s Book, A._ 3. 24. p. 293. [91] To these notices of Garnesche I may add the following letter, the original of which is in the possession of Mr. J. P. Collier:
