Two score lads of Galloway would not give up their arms without a tulzie for it." "They might induce them to leave them behind, when they went out to take their pleasures among the maids of the Lawnmarket," said Sholto. "Not their swords," said the Earl, "it needed all your lord's commands to make yours quit your side. I warrant these fellows will give an excellent account of themselves."
He held them up to ridicule in The Holy Tulzie, and showed them themselves as others saw them. It has been objected by some that Burns made use of humorous satire; did not censure with the fiery fervour of a righteous indignation. Burns used the weapon he could handle best; and a powerful weapon it is in the hands of a master.
"There's a difference," said the minister, stiffly. "We were then legitimate troops of war, fighting for the Solemn League and Covenant under a noble lord with Letters. It was the Almighty's cause, and " "Was it indeed?" said John Splendid. "And was Himself on the other side of Loch Leven when His tulzie was on?"
His Holy Fair, Holy Tulzie, Twa Herds, Holy Willie's Prayer, and Address to the Unco Gude, are satires against bigotry and hypocrisy.
'There are ballads of me, he answered complacently. 'I pray to die in a good tulzie yet. 'If Cicely Elliott have her scarf in your helmet, Katharine said, 'I may not give you mine.

The Holy Tulzie had been written probably in April 1785, and the greatest of the satires, The Holy Fair, is dated August of the same year. It may, however, have been only drafted, and partly written, when the recent celebration of the sacrament at Mauchline was fresh in the poet's mind. At the very latest, it must have been taken up, completed, and perfected, in the early months of 1786.
I wad hae backed ye to haud the water against Black Andy and all his clan, and they're no' slack at a tulzie." "Ye may be grand in a fight, Mungo, but only a middling man at forage," interrupted his master. "I think ye said jugged hare?"

'But I gae mad at their grimaces, Their sighin', cantin', grace-prood faces, Their three-mile prayers, and half-mile graces, Their raxin' conscience, Whase greed, revenge, and pride disgraces Waur nor their nonsense. The first of Burns's satires, if we except his epistle to John Goudie, wherein we have a hint of the acute differences of the time, is his poem The Twa Herds, or The Holy Tulzie.
It was just because Burns could write The Cotter's Saturday Night that he could write The Holy Tulzie, Holy Willie's Prayer, The Ordination, and The Holy Fair.
