context_page_description: "Of Ane Blak-Moir" is a short comic poem in Scots by William Dunbar.
  It takes the form of a hymn in praise of a beautiful lady, but is a parody of the form. The lady addressed is apparently an African woman playing a role in a tournament or chivalric pageant. It is one of the first references to someone of Sub-Saharan African origin living in Scotland.
  The text of the poem is preserved in the Maitland Folio Manuscript.
