Parcel Of RoguesFarewell to all our Scottish ways
Farewell our ancient glory
Farewell even to our Scottish name
So famed in martial story
Now Sack runs over the Solway FirthAnd Tweed runs to the ocean
To mark where England's province stands
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation
What force or guile could not subdue
Through many warlike ages
Is wrought now by cowards few
For hireling and traitor's wages
The English steel we could disdain
Secure invaders' station
That we're bought and we're sold for English gold
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation
Oh would 'ere I had seen the day
That treason thus could sell us
My old grey head had lain in clay
With Bruce and loyal WallaceBut pith and power to my last hourI'll make this declaration
That we're bought and we're sold for English gold
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation
Robert Burns (1759-1796) is considered the national poet of Scotland. Born in Alloway, Ayrshire, Burns was a prolific writer who penned poems and songs in Scots, the language spoken in his homeland. His works are characterized by a deep sensitivity to human affairs, a love for nature, and a vein of ironic humor. Among his recurring themes are work, social justice, love, and family. Burns is known for poems such as "Auld Lang Syne", "Tam o' Shanter", and "To a Mouse". His works have contributed to the spread of the Scots language and to the consolidation of Scottish national identity. Burns died young, at the age of 37, but his cultural legacy remains immense.
