A MAN'S A MAN FOR ALL THAT
or IS THERE FOR HONEST POVERTY
by Robert
Burns
Is there for honest poverty
That hangs his head, an' a' that
The coward
slave, we pass him by
We dare be poor for a' that
For a' that, an' a' that
The rank
is but the guinea's stamp
The man's the gowd for a' that
What though on hamely fare we
dine
Wear hoddin grey, an' a' that
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine
A
man's a man, for a' that
For a' that, an' a' that
Their tinsel show an' a' that
The
honest man, though e'er sae poor
Is king o' men for a' that
Ye see yon birkie ca'd a
lord
Wha struts an' stares an' a' that
Tho' hundreds worship at his word
He's but a
coof for a' that
For a' that, an' a' that
The man o' independent mind
He looks an'
laughs at a' that
A prince can mak' a belted knight
A marquise, duke, an' a' that
But
an honest man's aboon his might
Gude faith, he maunna fa' that
For a' that an' a'
that
Their dignities an' a' that
The pith o' sense an' pride o' worth
Are higher rank
that a' that
Then let us pray that come it may
(as come it will for a'
that)
That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth
Shall bear the gree an' a' that
For a'
that an' a' that
It's coming yet for a' that
That man to man, the world o'er
Shall
brithers be for a' that
