An honeil man's aboon his might,
Guid faith he manna fa' that S
For a' that, and a* that,
His dignities, and a' that :
The pith o' fenfe, and pride o* worth,
Are grandeur far than a* that.
Then let us pray that come it may,
As come it mall for a' that ;
That fenfe an worth o'er a* the earth s
Shall bear the gree, and a' that 5
For a* that, and a' that,
Its comin yet, for a* that ;
That man to man, the warld o'er,
Shall brothers be, for a' that.
