The image depicts a beautifully printed paper with elaborate details that transport us back to the 16th century. Skelton's poem, "Colin Cloute" serves as a scathing satire of the clergy and an incidental attack on Cardinal Wolsey.

The composition exudes a sense of literary brilliance, capturing the essence of Skelton's poetic genius. It invites us into a world where words become weapons, critiquing societal norms and challenging those in power. Through this remarkable piece, we witness not only Skelton's mastery as a writer but also his audacity to challenge authority during Tudor times. The title page acts as an introduction to this powerful work, drawing readers into its realm filled with wit and criticism. As we delve deeper into the image, we can't help but appreciate how literature has always been at the forefront of shaping society.
