Catrin........I guess it's a yes and no answer........with a lot of Burns work you can be pretty sure with the way he uses words......the way they scan and time perfectly ....... that they were written by him. Then the question is when does something cease to be contemporary and become traditional. If something is changed by a person and the original is not acknowledged by the changee..... when does it become plagerism ?????? I hope you realise that I'll never be allowed back home after suggesting that.
