The Caledonian Society of Rome
Celebrates the 250th anniversary of the birth of
Robert Burns
A prince
can mak a belted knight,
A marquis, duke, an a' that!
But an
honest man's aboon his might -
Guid faith, he mauna fa' that!
For a' that, an a' that,
Their dignities, an a' that,
The
pith o sense an pride o worth.
Are higher rank than a' that.
From “A Man’s A Man for A’ That”
