Summary "Cocke Lorelles Bote" by Anonymous is a satirical poem likely written during the early part of the reign of Henry the Eighth, making it part of the early 16th-century English literature. This work, which comprises 414 lines, critiques various classes of society, particularly focusing on the lower orders. With a unique copy printed by Wynkyn de Worde, the poem uses humor to sketch the vices and follies of its subjects quickly and effectively. The poem presents a comical tableau of society through the character of Cocke Lorell, a cunning leader of a band of robbers, who gathers a motley crew of dishonest tradesmen and vagabonds in a boat. Each character is presented with a vivid and humorous description, showcasing their various shortcomings and moral failings. As they embark on a journey together, the interactions among these dubious characters underline themes of greed, deception, and social commentary. Through Cocke Lorell's leadership, the poem illustrates the chaotic camaraderie of the untrustworthy, culminating in a raucous celebration that critiques the societal norms of the time.
