WALLACE l1i!.I1'IlZII (GP) -A' 66-year-old Englishman who has never lived in Scotland calmly asserts that scols cannot understand many of the words of Robbie Bums, "al- admit it," mid tells how he's translating some pmns of the bard into the Queen's His translation. 30 be Published in January, makes short work of alpin- siniip". "Painch, tripe or thaim'i". and "housing at the napple." The trio-islator is William Kean Seymour, who plans to brave the possible wrath of London Scots Jan. 25 when he attends the Burns Night dinner at the Caledoniaii Club. "I will gladly recite some of my Burns translations there if they ask me to," he said hopefully Monday. What will that be like? Well take ”Auld Lang Syne," for ex- ample. As Burns wrote it. the last verse goes: "And surely ye'll be your pint- stoup. "And rsurely I'll be mine: "And we'll tak a cup 0' kindness yet "For aulri lang eyine". New Version Seymours version this way: "And ye shall stand I round or two, ' "And surely I'll do mine: "And we'll take a cup of kind- ness yet "For auld lang syne." Seymour, one-txime London bank manager, has depended on the dictionaries of the Lowland Scots dialect for his tnnslatioms. In "Tam O'Shanter," the lines "while we sit bousing at the nap- pie e.n' getting' fu' and unco hap- py" comes out as "while we sit drinking pot on pot with tlppy pleasure in our lot". The phrase ttpaincb, tripe or thairm,"inBurns' ode "To a Haggis". is changed to "pauhch. tripe or gut." A Seymour challenged Scots to identify a "cutty mark”, which is ix short dhemise. Speaking for Scots. Dr. John Oliver of Edinburgh, president of the Bums Federation, rook a phil- osophic view. "I don't really think he can fully succeed, but in a way I'm glad he tried it. "It is better that the people of England should get even a water- etlil-down version than nothing at :4 ." Seymour, A poet himself who has had some of his poems in school COITIEU Dub 3 books, will have his translation published Jan, 25. Robbie Burnsl, birthday. sinniil an P. 0.
