- Such_a_Parcel_of_Rogues_in_a_Nation abstract "Such a Parcel of Rogues in a Nation is a Scottish folk song whose lyrics are taken from an eponymous Robert Burns poem of 1791. It derides those members of the Parliament of Scotland who signed the Act of Union with England in 1707, comparing their treachery to the country with the tradition of martial valor and resistance commonly associated with such historic figures as Robert the Bruce and William Wallace. It has continued to be associated with Scottish nationalism and also been referenced in other situations where politicians' actions have gone against popular opinion.The lyrics obliquely reference a colonization project that became known as the Darien Scheme, an unsuccessful attempt by the Kingdom of Scotland to become a world trading nation by establishing a colony called "Caledonia" on the Isthmus of Panama on the Gulf of Darién in the late 1690s. As the Darien company was backed by about a quarter of the money circulating in Scotland, its failure left the nobles and landowners—who had suffered a run of bad harvests—almost completely ruined and was an important factor in weakening their resistance to the Act of Union. Although the scheme failed, it has been seen as marking the beginning of the country's transformation into a modern nation oriented toward business.Burns’s spirited denunciation of the “rogues” who sold Scotland for English gold refers of course to the Scottish commissioners who voted for the Union of 1707, some of whom were said to have been bribed. The poet is not the ostensible speaker, since the latter describes himself as having “an auld grey head.” And whatever Burns’s patriotic sympathies, he was, after all, latterly employed by the British Government as an exciseman but that was of course in order to make a living not an affiliation to or approval of the British Govt.The melody and lyrics were published in volume 1 of James Hogg's Jacobite Reliques of 1819 (no. 36).".
