Robert Burns (1759-1796)

A Man’s a Man for A' That

Page 4: Rels: 205 Lecture 2.2 Religious and Secular Traditions.

 

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. The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,

Is king o' men for a' that.

Page 5: Rels: 205 Lecture 2.2 Religious and Secular Traditions.

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, That man to man, the world o'er, Shall brithers be for a' that.
