Poems and Songs of Robert Burns
ty supreme is 'mang sons o' men. i hae a wife and twa wee laddies; they maun hae brose and brats o' duddies; ye ken yoursels my heart right proud is— i need na vaunt but i'll sned besoms, thraw saugh woodies, before they want. lord help me thro' this warld o' care! i'm weary sick o't late and air! not but i hae a richer share than mony ithers; but why should ae man better fare, and a' men brithers? come, firm resolve, take thou the van, thou stalk o' carl-hemp in man! and let us mind, faint heart ne'er wan a lady fair: wha does the utmost that he can, will whiles do mair. but to conclude my silly rhyme (i'm scant o' verse and scant o' time), to make a happy fireside clime to weans and wife, that's the true pathos and sublime of human life. my compliments to sister beckie, and eke the same to honest lucky; i wat she is a daintie chuckie, as e'er tread clay; and gratefully, my gude auld cockie, i'm yours for aye. robert burns.m.HzGJjx.cOm
