Classic Poem

Tune — O'er the muir amang the heather —

In Edinburgh town they've made a law,
In Edinburgh at the Court o' Session,
That standing pr-cks are fauteors a',
And guilty of a high transgression. —

Chorus

Act Sederunt o' the Session,
Decreet o' the Court o' Session,
That standing pr-cks are fauteors a',
And guilty of a high transgression.

2

And they've provided dungeons deep,
Ilk lass has ane in her possession;
Untill the wretches wail and weep,
They there shall lie for their transgression. —

Chorus

Act Sederunt o' the Session,
Decreet o' the Court o' Session,
The rogues in pouring tears shall weep,
By act Sederunt o' the Session. —
