Ayton, Sir Robert

Scottish poet

Ayton also spelled Aytoun

born 1570, Kinaldy, Fife, Scot.

died , c. Feb. 28, 1638, London, Eng.

one of the earliest Scottish poets to use standard English as a literary medium.

Educated at the University of St. Andrews, in the county of Fife, Ayton came into favour at court for a Latin panegyric on the accession of James VI to the English throne. He was knighted in 1612 and subsequently held various lucrative offices, including that of private secretary to the queens of James I and Charles I. Although Ayton also wrote poems in Latin, Greek, and French and enjoyed a considerable literary reputation, he never considered himself a poet. A poem, “Old Long Syne,” that is ascribed to Ayton may possibly have been the inspiration for the famous “Auld Lang Syne” by Robert Burns.
