It was customary water horses first before yourself.; bylaws are a body of local.regulations.akin to the Danish 'by-lag', meaning township ordinance
Word history: bylaw existed long before the sense in question. The word is first recorded in 1283 A.D. with the meaning 'a body of customs or regulations, as of a village or religious organization'. The 'By-' in this word comes from Old Norse, as may also the word 'bylaw' and is related to if not identical with the element '-by' in the names of many places such as Whitby, where Scandinavians settled when they invaded England during the early Middle Ages. We get the sense of this '-by' if we compare the Old Icelandic related word meaning 'a town or village' in Norway, Sweden and Denmark and 'a farm or landed estate' in Iceland. We thus see why 'bylaw' would mean 'a body of customs of a village or small but growing community' and why we use the word to mean 'a law or rule governing the internal affairs of an organization', that is, affecting only those within it who have agreed to its bylaws. Modern bylaws can be an estates rule as could be posted by a sign 'Beware of the dogs', whereas in another estate in the area, that might not be the case as they had no guarding animals.

Robert Burns, born January 25, 1759, Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland, died July 21, 1796, Dumfries, Dumfriesshire, Scotland

Robert Burns is the national poet of Scotland, who wrote lyrics and songs in the Scottish dialect of English. His lyrics, written in dialect and infused with humor, celebrate.love, patriotism and rustic life. He was also famous for his amours and his negative outlook toward orthodox.religion.

Robert was against the social.order of his day that his father came against many times as he struggled to earn a living. He thus had little regard for all forms of religious and political thought that condoned or perpetuated.inhumanity.

In poems he expressed his emotions of love, friendship or amusement or his ironical.contemplation of the social scene.

Burns published Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, which  appeared on July 31, 1786. An example.

Burns corresponded with and visited a great variety of literary and other people.

Burns was a man of great intellectual energy and force of character who, in a class-ridden society, never found an environment in which he could fully exercise his personality.

It is clear from a variety of evidence, many other poems must have been substantially written by Burns, ones he never claimed as his. He never claimed.Auld Lang Syne.for example, which he described simply as an old fragment he had discovered, but the song we have is almost certainly his. 

The full extent of Burns's work on Scottish song will probably never be known.

It is positively miraculous that Burns was able to enter into the spirit of older folk song and recreate, out of an old chorus, such songs as.I'm O'er Young to Marry Yet,.Green Grow the Rashes, O.and a host of others. It is this uncanny ability to speak with the great anonymous voice of the Scottish people that explains the special feeling that Burns arouses in those loving his poems.....comprised with information from Encyclopedia Britannica.
