Early Victorian “For Auld Lang Syne” Snake Seal
The lyrics of “Auld Lang Syne” are in the Scots language. The title, translated literally into standard English, is Old Long Since. Essentially, it's about old friends having a drink and recalling adventures they had long ago. First written in 1788 but still relatable. A snake forms the setting.
