"Cocke Lorelles Bote" by Anonymous is a 414-line satirical poem, possibly from the early 1500s, that uses humor to sharply criticize different parts of society, especially the working class. A canny robber chief named Cocke Lorell puts together a strange group of dishonest workers and wanderers on a boat, as the poem paints a funny picture of society; each character is described in a colorful and amusing way, showing their weaknesses and bad morals. Their journey highlights themes of greed, lying, and commentary on society, and the odd bunch comes together under Cocke Lorell in a wild celebration that mocks the standards of the time.
