Ⓖ CONTAINS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE 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. Act Sederunt o' the Session, Decreet o' the Court o' Session, That standing pr-cks are fauteors a', And guilty of a high transgression. 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. Act Sederunt o' the Session, Decreet o' the Court o' Session, The rogues in pouring tears shall weep, By act Sederunt o' the Session.
