 The Poetry of Sir David Lyndsay - Scottish Corpus of Texts and Speech
Lyndsay thus implies that the heroes of romance may not be so easy to find, even in among the truly worthy and these poems, which seem to have been written for family and friends, offer some gentle humour at the discrepancy between the expectations of a romance hero and Meldrum’s actions.
That Lyndsay was able to do this at all demonstrates his closeness to James V. As the early poems show, especially “The Complaynt and The Dreme”, Lyndsay had been an important figure in the household of the baby king.
This closeness permitted Lyndsay to offer advice to the king freely, suggesting moral restraint, probity, and the reform both of the church and of the nobility for the benefit of the rest of his realm; these themes of course are among the key ideas of the “Thrie Estaitis”.

Truth to tell, there is little or no art in Lyndsay’s use of the expedient, so far as regards the counsel of the dying bird either to the king or to the “brether of the courte.” In both cases, the voice is the voice of Lyndsay, without any attempt to disguise it.
In his official capacity of Lyon King of Arms, Lyndsay, doubtless, acquired considerable dramatic experience, for he had the general superintendence of the pageantry and diversions on the occasion of royal fêtes, and, probably, devised the farces, masques and mummeries.
Lyndsay’s play was performed before James V at Linlithgow in 1540, and it may have been performed elsewhere at an earlier date.

The character of Lyndsay’s verse was symptomatic of the approach of a period of poetic decline.
To Lyndsay, on the contrary, the definite purpose was almost everything; he was, primarily, less a poet than a political and social reformer; and he made use of the literary medium that would best achieve his moral purpose.
The Dreme of Lyndsay may have been suggested by The Dreme of Dunbar; but it is about ten times as long, and it has nothing in common with it beyond the name and the description of a dream for its theme.

 Lyndsay, Sir David (c1490-1555). Poet and dramatist.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
David Lyndsay (or Lindsay) was the eldest son of David Lyndsay of the Mount, whose estate was near Cupar in Fife.
When the future James V was born in 1512 Lyndsay was appointed gentleman-usher, and he was in close attendance throughout James's childhood, giving an affectionate account of him in his earliest work, "The Dreme" (1528), where Lyndsay describes himself as James's servant and story teller.
During successive centuries Lyndsay was the best known of the early Scottish poets, but nowadays it is for his play (the first great dramatic work in Scottish literature) that he is remembered; particularly since its revival by Robert Kemp and (Sir William) Tyrone Guthrie (1900-71) at the Edinburgh Festival in 1948.

Michael was taught to read before he was four years old, and one of his favourite books was a copy of Sir David Lyndsay's works.

This book was in the possession of the Birrell family, and John Birrell, another friend of the poet, adds a testimony to the same effect.
