(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

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 ."

Breton was following a guide. Abdel Bessac. a member of Parlia- ment who has a concession for the cave. Looking at a drawing on the cave wall of a hairy mammoth be- liever to be about 30,000 years old. Breton rubbed his thumb lightly across the mammoth's trunk and about an inch of paint came off.
