Everything about Robert Ayton totally explained

Sir Robert Ayton (1570 - 1638) was a Scottish poet. Ayton was the son of Ayton of Kincaldie in Fife. After graduating from St. Andrews, he studied law at Paris, became ambassador to the Emperor, and held other court offices.
   He appears to have been well-known to his literary contemporaries in England. He wrote poems in Latin, Greek, and English, and was one of the first Scots to write in the English language. His major work was Diophantus and Charidora. Inconstancy Upbraided is perhaps the best of his short poems. He is credited with a little poem, Old Long Syne, which probably suggested Robert Burns's famous Auld Lang Syne.
