CHAPTER FIVE THE JUDGES OF SCOTLAND

Previous

"Ye Barristers of England
Your triumphs idle are,
Till ye can match the names that ring
Round Caledonia's Bar.
Your John Doe and your Richard Roe
Are but a paltry pair:
Look at those who compose
The flocks round Brodie's Stair,
Who ruminate on Shaw and Tait
And flock round Brodie's Stair.
*****
"But, Barristers of England,
Come to us lovingly,
And any Scot who greets you not
We'll send to Coventry.
Put past your brief, embark for Leith,
And when you've landed there,
Any wight with delight
Will point out Brodie's Stair
Or lead you all through Fountainhall
Till you enter Brodie's Stair."
Outram: Legal and other Lyrics.
