v. 131.

Your skyn scabbyd and scuruy,

Tawny, tannyd, and shuruy, &c.]

shuruy, i. e., perhaps, “shrovy, squalid.” Forby’s Vocab. of East Anglia. With this passage compare The Flyting of Dunbar and Kennedy (see note, p. 177. v. 4);

“Fy! skolderit skyn, thow art bot skyre and skrumple.”

...

“Ane crabbit, skabbit, evill facit messane tyk.”

...

“Thow lukis lowsy.”

Dunbar’s Poems, ii. 70, 84, 72. ed. Laing.
