Some of us just have to live with the mistakes we made when we were five.
@OmSigDAVID,
Just got a collection of characters that I liked. That art style that I enjoyed and portrayed the game well and then had the tattoo artist put it together

Who says I plan to get old? As well, I don't get tattoos to please other people. I get them because they have
meaning in
my life and
I like them.

This may be a perfectly legitimate way of doing it though.

Yes, I agree. Discussion of the subject matter here
can lead to an insightful understanding thereof.

I'd not shorten Edward to "Ed"!!!

And I have no more than he. (I have no other hawk.)
I think you've done a pretty good job.

Edward seems to be a nasty piece of work. Kills his hawk, his horse and his father. he intends to go overseas leaving his wife and kids to beg for the rest of their life and leaving his castle to stand until it falls down. He then curses his mother to hell for her advice.
this is (apparently) a ballad (song)
Edward seems to me to be an English name rather than Scottish.
I wonder if Edward is of noble blood? the hawk and horse would be an indication that this is so. The poem is first published around 1765 (publication note) but much earlier. Was there an English king or Lord at this time?
I s this a lament by scotich people at the tyranny of England?
I have never been a poet.
It seems to me that poetry is a way of expressing emotion
in an incomplete way, at the expense of soundly reasoned communication.
Too ofen it leaves the reader to guess what the author had in mind.
@OmSigDAVID,
Quote:Too ofen it leaves the reader to guess what the author had in mind.
Poetry and song in the age of this poem were often used as a means of political subversion.
To criticise the king or another noble would be to risk a grave punishment if not death. however criticism could be achieved by hiding it within a poem. Mots people of that day and age would understand the references because of the context of the age they lived in.
we can only guess because we do not live in the context.
Did you know that the childs rhyme "Ring a ring a rosie" was referencing the plague in London

Yes; "all fall down."
I remember kids doing that in the first half of the 1900s,
but not since then. Maybe thay still do, but I have not been looking at them.
@dadpad,
He's a noble all right...if we knew what hawk he owned, we would know his degree of nobility, as one was entitled to different species depending upon one's status.
I don't think he DID kill anyone except his father...he just says he has killed the animals to put off his mother...although from the conclusion of the poem (and from a sense that builds during the poem) that the mother has had a great deal to do with this killing.
@dlowan,
