This essay considers John Skelton’s Ware the Hauke as belonging to the ancient tradition of poetic invective, dealing with its metre, its plain style, its hyperbolic comparisons, and its mixture of the serious and the comic, and concluding with discussion of the haunting refrain in the last part of the poem.
