A man's a man for a' that. . . . . A prince can mak a belted knight, A marquis, duke, and a' that; But an honest man's aboon his might, Guid faith he mauna fa' 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, May bear the gree and a' that. For a' that, and a' that, It's comin' yet, for a' that, When man to man, the world o'er, Shall brithers be for a' that.

The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, and violets bathe in the wet o' the morn.

'T is sweeter for thee despairing Than aught in the world beside,-Jessy!

Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.--Robert Burns

They never sought in vain that sought the Lord alright!

And O! be sure to fear the Lord alway, And mind your duty, duly, morn and night; Lest in temptation's path ye gang astray, Implore His counsel and assisting might: They never sought in vain that sought the Lord aright.

All my fears and cares are of this world; if there is another, an honest man has nothing to fear from it.
