Referring to Robert Burns' "Address to A Haggis," the verse begins with his speech telling his pudding inside a sheep's stomach that it's worthy to have this address made; however, Robert elaborates and in truth compliments his Scotia. All parts from the animal are used, its heart, the part within that pushes the blood through the body, i.e. Scotland's heart, her people who pushed through their struggles and other countries especially in the 18th century's second half such as the American and French Revolutions. The lungs used give the breath of life such as Robert inhaled daily as a farmer or Exciseman when riding the country. His love for the Scottish song and salvation was his passion. To edit & save then write the past songs, his songs from his verse then new verse such as all people's verse, "A Man's A Man For A' That" belongs to us now in the 21st century! We are Robert's "Haggis" to live forever, as his words should. We breathe and push the blood that he gave us with his own life cut short? No, Robert Burns was ill most of his life with Rheumatoid Arthritis. At age 37, he lost his life to a heart attack but he is our "Haggis." His blood courses from his heart through our veins, his lungs fill our very essence if we read his verse correctly. Please read this very passionate poem to not only the "Haggis" but also his beloved Scotland and all that she was then and is today!
Rather than attempt to translate the Scots' Dialect, I give you The Robert Burns World Federation link." Please go to their "Address to a Haggis" explanation for there not only shall you find how Haggis is cooked today and in Robert's late 18th century Scotland. Take the time to read his rhyme next to the Standard English verse that I applaud the Robert Burns World Federation for taking time with all his verse so that we today, the 21st century person can understand more easily.
Of "Address to a Haggis," the late Dr. James Mackay in his ROBERT BURNS: "POETICAL VERSE A-Z" wrote, "The closing stanza is said to have been composed extempore during a dinner at the home of John Morrison, a Mauchline cabinet-maker. The complete poem was written soon after Burns arrived in Edinburgh and appeared in the "Caledonian Mercury" - the first of Burns' poems to be published in any periodical. Oddly enough, the earliest recipe for Haggis appeared the same year, in "Cookery and Pastry" by Susanna MacIver.
I pray that this answers the question. ~ Janet Thompson Deaver
