As duke or lord and a’ that,
He’s but a brute, beyond dispute,
And not a man for a’ that.
A man may own a large estate,
Have palace, park, and a’ that;
And not for birth, but honest worth,
Be thrice a man for a’ that;
And Donald herding on the muir,
Who beats his wife and a’ that,
Be nothing but a rascal boor,
