From ‘A Discourse of English Poetry’ by William Webbe (fl. 1586–91), published by John Charlewood in 1586 (STC 25172), C iiiv. Webbe was a friend of Spenser. His comments on Skelton occur during a survey of the history of English poetry, in which it becomes clear that his sympathies lie with more recent sixteenth-century poetry rather than with Skelton's.
Since these I knowe none other tyll the time of Skelton, who writ in the time of kyng Henry the eyght, who as indeede he obtayned the Lawrell Garland, so may I wyth good ryght yeelde him the title of a Poet: hee was doubtles a pleasant conceyted fellowe, and of a very sharpe wytte, exceeding bolde, and would nyppe to the very quicke where he once sette holde.
