Is there for honest 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 guineas stamp The mans the gowd for a that What though on hamely fare we dine Wear hoddin gray an a that? Gie fools their silks and knaves their wine A mans a man for a that For a that, an a that Their tinsel show an a that The honest man though eer sae poor Is king o men for a that Ye see yon birkie cad a lord Wha struts an stares an a that? Though hundreds worship at his word Hes but a cuif 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 mans aboon his might Guid faith, he mauna 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 oer a the earth Shall bear the gree an a that For a that, an a that Its comin yet for a that That man to man the world oer Shall brithers be for a that
