Ane Dance in the Quenis Chalmer

:Sir Jhon Sinclair begowthe to dance, :For he was new cum owt of France. :For ony thing that he do mycht :The an futt yeid ay onrycht :And to the tother wald nocht gree. :Quod an, "Tak up the quenis knycht!" ::A mirrear dance mycht na man see. Sinclair was an attendant of Margaret Tudor. In April 1513 an English diplomat, Nicholas West, came to Linlithgow Palace and was met by John Sinclair, who conveyed him to Margaret Tudor. He may have been the Scottish courtier recorded in November 1490 and January 1491 playing cards with James IV. ==Dunbar and Mistress Musgrave==

:Than cam in Dunbar the mackar :On all the flure thair was nan frackar :And thair he dancet the dirrye dantoun. :He hoppet lyk a pillie wanton, :For luff of Musgraeffe, men tellis me. :He trippet quhill he tint his panton. ::A mirrear dance mycht na man see. :For lachtter nain mycht hald thair lippis. :Quhen schou was danceand bisselye, :An blast of wind son fra hir slippis. ::A mirrear dance mycht na man see. In June 1508 she helped with preparations for a dance at Holyroodhouse to conclude the tournament of the Wild Knight and the Black Lady. Details of her clothing, made by the Queen's tailor Robert Spittell survive in the accounts from 1511 and 1512. Edward Hall's English chronicle and a poem Flodden Field mention a "Giles Musgrave", presumably a relation of her husband, who is said to have persuaded James IV to move from an advantageous position on a hill at the battle of Flodden. ==References==
