In the meantime the Scottish poet Robert Henryson had produced his freer version of Chaucer's tale, "The Taill of Schir Chanticleir and the Foxe", written in the 1480s. This consists of 31 rhyme royal stanzas and is more or less dependent on Chaucer's telling but for one important particular. In place of the tedious debate on dreams, this poem's rhetorical episode is reserved until after the capture of Chanticleir by the fox and so adds to the suspense. In this, his three wives voice their various responses to what they believe will be his inevitable death.
