About John Skelton

John Skelton (c. 1460 – June 21, 1529) was an English poet, variously asserted to have been born in Armathwaite, Cumberland, or Yorkshire. Many of his works included scathing indictments of the church or church figures, and although they were likely circulated in his day, they were not officially published until some time after his death.

Additional quotes by John Skelton

For the soul of Philip Sparrow,
That was late slain at Carrow
Among the Nunnes Black,
For that sweet soul’s sake
And for all sparrows’ souls
Set in our bead-rolls,
Pater noster qui
With an Ave Mari.

By hoke ne by croke.

Gentle Paule, laie doune thy sweard,
For Peter of Westminster hath shaven thy beard.

O ye wretched Scottes, Ye puaunt pyspottes, It shalbe your lottes To be knytte up with knottes Of halters and ropes About your traytours throtes. - John Skelton
