“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:
