Thread: Translate to modern English

Thank you, Hanna.
Some Old English and Scot words were familiar, because our English teacher tortured us by making us learn Robert Burns' poems by heart. )) And for the rest I used a dictionary.

Can we have less of the "old" please? There are plenty of us who still speak like that you know. In fact, if you placed that poem on the continuum between modern Scots and Standard English it would be closer to the latter than the former.

gRomoZeka totally nailed it by the way.
