Extract for the Robert Burns poem A Man’s a Man 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.” English translation: “You see that fellow called 'a lord', Who struts, and stares, and all that? Though hundreds worship at his word, He is but a dolt for all that. For all that, and all that, His ribboned, star, and all that, The man of independent mind, He looks and laughs at all that.”
