Parcel o'

Fareweel to a' oor fame
Fareweel oor ancient
even tae oor Scottish name
Sae in martial story
Noo Sark o'er the Solway sands
Tweed runs tae the
Tae wher
e England's province
Such a parcel o' in a nation
What or guile could not subdue
many wor-like ages
Is now by the coward few
For hireling wages
The English steel we disdain
in valou
r's
But English has been oor bane
a parcel o' rogues in a nation
O would or I had the day
treason thus would sell us
My old grey had lain in clay
Wi' and loyal Wallace
But pith and power my last

I'll mak' this
We are bought and sold for English
Such a o' rogues in a nation
[ by Robert Burns as a protest against the Act of Union, 1707, which
joined the parliaments of England and Scotland. Although against
the Act, the Scottish parliament soon agreed when offered a pension
each by the English government. The people had no say, and thus
'bought and sold for gold'. They are still paying the price. ]
