Abstract
ichard Maitland (1496-1586) is not a wellknown poet, except to medieval-renaissance specialists; he usually rates about two short poems in a long anthology.I have discovered only two articles on his poetry, one by Maurice Lee which -while certainly valuable -is historical rather than literary (1969), and a useful commentary on some of the better poems by Alasdair MacDonald (1970). 1 The comparative neglect is understandable, as Maitland's range is narrow: the majority of his forty-four surviving poems are about the breakdown of law and order, a consequence of the civil war that became endemic in mid-sixteenth-century Scotland.Most of Maitland's remaining poems offer moral and religious instruction, to counter the ungodly times.This suggests a further reason why he tends to be passed over: moral verses usually lack appeal.Yet he is a better poet than a cursory look would indicate, and deserves more attention.Within his main themes of corruption and devastation, there is variety in form, tone, and topic; and the better poems are distinctive and moving.These are almost always the less general and more specific poems, a point that will be amplified shortly.I shall begin with a brief introduction to Maitland's career and his poetry, and then examine three poems in more detail.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
