Buke of the Howlat : ウィキペディア英語版
Buke of the Howlat

''The Buke of the Howlat'', often referred to simply as ''The Howlat'', is a humorous 15th century Scots poem by Richard Holland.
==Description==
The poem is a comic allegory in which all the characters are birds with human attributes, with a howlat, or owl, the protagonist. The symbolism is debatable but two of its purposes are clear; it serves as a moral fable warning against vanity and excessive pride, and it is also a piece of propaganda praising the Douglas dynasty of Scots nobles.〔(The Printed Edition of 1823 (Bannatyne Club) )〕
Other themes dealt with in the work include satire of the bureaucracy of the medieval church, and the mocking of Highland Scots and their language.〔
''The Howlat'' is a long, narrative piece full of exuberant comic detail. It is written in rhyming verse heavy with alliteration.〔 The text is preserved in the Asloan and Bannatyne manuscripts. A printed transcript, based mainly on the Asloan text was published by the Bannatyne Club in 1823.
