Bruce O. Origin: Piper o' Dundee (20) RE: Help: Burns song????? 14 Jan 00

And the tune "A Parcel of Rogues in a Nation" had been around since about 1752, but no one has ever found any verses for it. Hogg in 'Jacobite Relics', I, merely said the song and air were well known (and didn't mention Burns). James Dick in 'The Songs of Robert Burns' also touches on the Act of Union, and the 31 Scottish Union Commisioners, the rogues. Dick also quotes the entry in Grey's MS list, 'Mr. B-- words'.
