The man of just considerate mind,

He smiles—or sighs—at a’ that!

A Cad may boast of power of fight,

Of patriot zeal, and a’ that;

But trust in right’s above his flight;

He has not pluck for a’ that!

For a’ that and a’ that,

Their blatant bounce and a’ that:

Fair play, stern justice, steadfast calm,

Show truer grit than all that!
