There's nocht but care on every han' When you deal wi' my fellow-man, Wi' envenom'd stangs, and sick like ploys, Thou mind at me o' departed joys.

While a daimen icker's in the thrave, We ne'er shall fill a coward's grave; And to our wames we'll fear nae evil, Wi' usqueba, we'll face the devil Anld usqueba, which nocht surpasses, When filled to us in siller tassies; O'er a' the ills o' life victorious, Whisky and freedom mak' us glorious.

So now, then, duld haggis ben, Gin ye'll na tak a thocht, and men*, We'll taigle ye wi' & reaming swet, For a man's a man for a' that,
