“But what’s the meanin’, what’s the sense?”
—“Men shift but by experience.
’Twixt Scots there is nae difference.
They canna learn, sae canna move,
But stick for aye to their auld groove
—The only race in History who’ve
Bidden in the same category
Frae stert to present o’ their story,
And deem their ignorance their glory.
The mair they differ, mair the same.
