41. Primary Sources: The Poetry Of John Skelton
Well may thou sigh, well may thou groan, To deal with her so cowardly. Ywis, polehatchet,she blearèd thine eye! Quoth skelton Laureate. to Primary Sources
http://englishhistory.net/tudor/skelton.html
Skelton was the poet laureate of England under Henry VII;
he also tutored the young Prince Henry, duke of York, who became the infamous Henry VIII.
    To Mistress Margaret Hussey
      Merry Margaret,
      As midsummer flower,
      Gentle as falcon
      Or hawk of the tower;
      With solace and gladness,
      Much mirth and no madness,
      All good and no badness;
      So joyously,
      So maidenly, So womanly Her demeaning In every thing, Far, far passing That I can endite, Or suffice to write Of merry Margaret, As midsummer flower, Gentle as falcon Or hawk of the tower. As patient and as still And as full of good will As fair Isaphill; Colyander, Sweet pomander, Good Cassander; Steadfast of thought, Well made, well wrought, Far may be sought Ere that ye can find So courteous, so kind As merry Margaret, This midsummer flower, Gentle as falcon Or hawk of the tower.
    To Mistress Isabell Pennell
      By Saint Mary, my lady, Your mammy and your dady Brought forth a goodly baby! My maiden Isabell, Reflaring rosabell

Robert skelton son of Hohn was buried 7 Mar 1548; skelton, john de Bittlefordwas buried 26 Dec 1560; skelton, john, St. Stephens by Saltash, Will, 1733.
http://home.wxs.nl/~treva000/skelton.htm
Early References to Skelton
The most famous early Skelton was John , a renaissence period poet, who lived in the 15th century.
Elizabeth Treliving nee Skelton 16xx-1685
My interest in the name Skelton is to find any ancestors or siblings to Elizabeth Skelton who married William Treliving at St. Stephens, Saltash , Cornwall on 27th August 1633. She was buried at Landulph, Cornwall on 31st March 1685. Landulph lies in South East Cornwall on the western bank of the River Tamar. Other Skelton's in the parish of Landulph include John, later Sir John, who was born in 1613 and married Bridgett Prideaux from near Crediton in 1640. His family is believed to have originated from Cumberland. It is thought that he went from Landulph to Stoketon Manor and then to Holland with Charles II. However there is no evidence to link Elizabeth to this John, other than the circumstantial evidence of the same name in a parish within the same century. There is a Skelton Park in the parish of Landulph with deeds dating from 1426. Parishes where I have found Skelton's in this era are

    The Tunning of Elenor Rumming
    Tell you I chyll, If that ye wyll A whyle be styll, Of a comely gyll That dwelt on a hyll: But she is not gryll, For she is somwhat sage And well worne in age; For her vysage It would aswage A mannes courage.
    Her lothely lere Is nothynge clere, But ugly of chere, Droupy and drowsy, Scurvy and lowsy; Her face all bowsy, Comely crynkled, Woundersly wrynkled, Lyke a rost pygges eare, Brystled wyth here.
    Her lewde lyppes twayne, They slaver, men sayne, Lyke a ropy rayne, A gummy glayre: She is ugly fayre; Her nose somdele hoked, And camously croked, Never stoppynge, But ever droppynge; Her skynne lose and slacke, Grained lyke a sacke; With a croked backe.
    Her eyen gowndy Are full unsowndy, For they are blered; And she gray hered; Jawed lyke a jetty; A man would have pytty To se how she is gumbed, Fyngered and thumbed, Gently joynted, Gresed and annoynted Up to the knockles; The bones of her huckels Lyke as they were with buckels Togyther made fast: Her youth is farre past: Foted lyke a plane

    An Interview with John Skelton
    Photo of John Skelton by Paul Wells
    Biography
    John Skelton is probably best known to American audiences from his work with The House Band, with whom he has recorded 5 albums on the Green Linnet label. He has also released a solo album, One at a Time , on Pan Records, Holland's leading acoustic music label. John has performed at all the major folk festivals in North America and Europe and has given concerts in over 20 countries. He is also an experienced flute teacher and has taught at summer schools in North America, Europe, and Africa. John's roots lie in Irish traditional music. His grandfather and great-grandfather were flute and tin whistle players. He was born in London and returned there to live during the seventies. This was a "golden period" for Irish music in London. Bobby Casey, Roger Sherlock, Raymond Roland, Danny Meehan and many others were out playing and it was in this "hothouse" of great music that John spent his formative years. He first began to play professionally with the Irish band Shegui, and for six years he toured throughout Europe with them. That band included pianist/fiddler John Coakley (later of The Boys of the Lough), fiddler Tommy MacCarthy (now a leading light in Boston's Irish scene), and singer Sean Keane (brother of the great Irish singer Dolores Keane). He joined The House Band in 1987 and since then has been a central figure in that band's success. He has toured the world with them, and on stage, his marvelous introductions and stories of life on the road have become central to their concerts, with one American newspaper gong as far as to refer to him as "the English Garrison Keillor!" He is, however, better known as an accomplished and distinctive flute player.

    The Spin Doctor: John Skelton And "A Ballade Of The Scottyshe Kynge"
    Published in Touchstones: American Poets on a Favorite Poem. Edited by Robert Pack and Jay Parini. Wesleyan University Press, 1995.
    It's not surprising that in some of John Skelton's poems there is a kind of narrow nationalism. A professional man of letters, Skelton (1460 - 1529) was by most accounts a conservative in a conservative age. As tutor to the young prince Henry VIII, and later as both church rector and royal orator, Skelton was a true believer; he saw himself as responsible in part for the preservation of the English state. But if Skelton's political attitudes don't surprise us, if they reflect too well the orthodoxies of his late medieval times, many of his poems still manage to charm us. His metrical skill, his excited descriptions of historical events, his capacity for high drama combined with caricature, and, above all, his quick wit distinguish Skelton's poems from his contemporaries. More than five hundred years after his birth, Skelton still has something to teach us about the purposes and pleasures of poetry.
    Skelton's poems aren't particularly complicated, but new readers need guidance. There's the fact of Skelton's middle English, of course, but beyond that there's the references, allusions, the quirky music. Skelton is a famously uneven writer: even his best poems have weak passages or sections. But when he's writing with all engines on, he's terrific. In poems such as "Colin Clout" and "Speak Parrot," in his long satires and lyric poems, Skelton employs and mixes in delightful ways what was then the high and common styles of speaking. Vigorous and inventive, his meter, too, has a natural ease. Many of his poems use what has come to be known as a "skeltonic" meter: rapid two- or three-stressed lines (though some lines have as many as five stresses) with frequent alliteration and a single-rhyme pattern repeated for as long as the poet pleases. In "The Garland of Laurel," a dream-allegory, Skelton uses the skeltonic meter to address
