Is king o’ men for a’ that!

You see yon birkie, ca’d a lord,

Wha struts, and stares, and a’ that.

Though hundreds worship at his word,

He’s but a coof for a’ that;

For a’ that, and a’ that,

His riband, star, and a’ that,

The man of independent mind,

He looks and laughs at a’ that.

A prince can mak a belted knight,
