A Man`s A Man For A` That by Robert Burns Is there for honesty poverty That hings his head, an` a` that; The coward slave--we pass him by, We dare be poor for a` that! For a` that, an` a` that, Our toils obscure an` a` that, The rank is but the guinea`s stamp, The man`s the gowd for a` that. What though on hamely fare we dine, Wear hoddin grey, an` a` that? Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine, A man`s a man for a` that. For a` that, an` a` that, Their tinsel show, an` a` that, The honest man, tho` e`er sae poor, Is king o` men for a` that. Ye see yon birkie ca`d a lord, Wha struts, an` stares, an` a` that; Tho` hundreds worship at his word, He`s but a coof for a` that. For a` that, an` a` that, His ribband, star, an` a` that, The man o` independent mind He looks an` laughs at a` that. A prince can mak a belted knight, A marquis, duke, an` a` that, But an honest man`s aboon his might, Gude faith, he maunna fa` that! For a` that, an` a` that, Their dignities an` a` that, The pith o` sense, an` pride o` worth, Are higher rank than a` that. Then let us pray that come it may, (As come it will for a` that,) That Sense and Worth, o`er a` the earth, Shall bear the gree, an` a` that, For a` that, an` a` that, It`s coming yet for a` that, That man to man, the world o`er, Shall brithers be for a` that. Notes for the Sasunnach and other strange folks: aboon -- above birkie -- a lively, young, forward fellow coof -- fool, ninnie fa` -- have as one`s lot gree -- prize gowd -- gold hame -- home hing -- hang hoddin -- coarse, woollen cloth maunna -- must not (Quoted from: The Complete Illustrated Poems, Songs & Ballads of Robert Burns, London 1990). Enjoy! Gisbert Gisbert W.Selke
