The man of independent mind,

He looks and laughs at a' that.

"A prince can make a belted knight,

A marquis, duke, and a' that;

But an honest man's aboon his might

Guid faith, he maunna fa' that!

For a' that, and a' that,

Their dignities, and a' that,

The pith o' sense and pride o' worth

Are higher ranks than a' that.
