For a’ that, and a’ that,

Their pridefu’ pranks and a’ that;

We turn the sod, and claim from God

Stout labours due for a’ that.

You see yon big-mouthed bawling boy,

Of bright millennium dreaming here,

From equal votes to ragged coats,

And brainless men and women here;

For a’ that, and a’ that,

Their high-flown prate and a’ that;
