Calliope;
As ye may see,
Regent is she
Of poets all,
Which gave to me
The high degree
Laureate to be
Of fame royal;
Whose name enrolled
With silk and gold
I dare be bold

 Skelton was very proud of being poet laureate and took his position very seriously. The fact that Henry VII bestowed a garment with Calliope’s name to the poet gave him ample fame and poetic license to say what he pleased. This poetic license was used later in his life to harshly criticize the clergy and prominent statesmen of the time in Skelton’s satire  Why Come Ye Not to Court? .
Why were ye Calliope embrawdered with letters of golde ?
