Status Updates From The Poetry of Scotland

I enjoyed the performance absolutely as much as the poetic content!

TAM O' SHANTER, A TALE
THE COTTER’S SATURDAY NIGHT
AND A’ THAT A' THAT

TO A LOUSE, ON SEEING ONE ON A LADY’S BONNET, AT CHURCH

“Princes and lords are but the breath of kings,
"An honest man's the noblest work of God;"
And certes, in fair virtue's heavenly road,
The cottage leaves the palace far behind;
What is a lordling's pomp? a cumbrous load,
Disguising oft the wretch of human kind,
Studied in arts of hell, in wickedness refin'd!”

This is great (googled translated versions and read along with the audiobook which is read by the Scottish Gordon Kennedy), thoroughly enjoyed “TAM O' SHANTER, A TALE” and enjoyed “THE COTTER’S SATURDAY NIGHT” even more:

TAM O' SHANTER, A TALE
A caution against abuse o the ale, his horse gets bit in the hiney by a witch
