A still funnier parody was published in _Punch_, also said to be an unpublished poem by Burns. It consisted of three verses, but the first is quite sufficient to show the nature of the joke: JUSTICE TO SCOTLAND. (_Communicated by the Edinburgh Society for promoting civilization in England._) O Mickle yeuks the keckle doup, An’ a’ unsicker girns the graith, For wae and wae! the crowdies loup O’er jouk an’ hallan, braw an’ baith. Where ance the coggie hirpled fair, And blithesome poortith toomed the loof, There’s nae a burnie giglet rare But blaws in ilka jinking coof. * * * * * Some Parodies of National Songs have appeared in _Judy_, amongst them was the following:―― SCOTCH NATIONAL SONG. AIR――“_The Breeks o’ Balquidder._” Greet na mair, ma sonsie lassie, Greet na mair, ma pawkie chiel, Mither’s yout the wee bit hallan, An’ ye ken I loe ye weel! Gin your tocher’s guid, ma hinnie, What for gar the tear-draps fa’, Bring it ben, and pin the door, lass, An’ your jo will tak’ it a’! There’s a hantle Kebbuck waitin’, Bonnie farls, and haggis richt, Pit yere haffits gaily frae ye, Brawly a’ will gang the nicht! Dinna croon, the braxy’s ready, Tane a tither’s i’ the brae, Daddy’s fou ahint the bothy, What suld gar ye fashin’ sae? Loup an’ leuch, an’ skirl, ma lassie, Blithely toone the collops ben, Heed na lang thripplin――kame, luve, Fear na mair the tappit-hen; Till the kirk we’ll gang the morrow, Whiles the pipes sae gaily blaw, Syne we’ll crack o’ auld Balquidder, Soughing ’neath the simmer snaw! _Judy._ Sept. 10, 1884. ――――:o:―――― A HISTORY OF THE BURNs’ FESTIVAL; or, Centenary Celebration of the Birth of Robert Burns, held at the Crystal Palace, on January 25, 1859,
