Robert Henryson’s important works are:
1. The Testament of Crested. It is a natural sequel to Chaucer’s Troylus and Cressied, and shows the pathetic and tragic end of the fickle Cressied after she has deserted Troylus. The versification is sure and harmonious. He has handled the Chaucerian stanza with the felicity of Chaucer.
2. The Fables, thirteen in number, in the manner of Aesop’s Fable. Legouis praises them highly and says that, “They are among the best fables ever told”.
3. Robene and Makyne, is delightful pastoral. The poet is at his best in painting rustic scenes and in rendering dialogues between shepherds and shepherdesses.
