Thread Name: Translation from Scots req'd
Subject: RE: Translation from Scots req'd
I know exactly what the rhymer is saying and am working to give the translation in some sort of English rhyme. A bit of a task as I have never composed a verse in that language in my life.


The second last word in the first line should be "clavers"
This line would translate as follows:--

"Perhaps if scandal- mongers write"
