AMBITION. 
Is there, for honest poverty, 
That hangs his head, and a’ that; 
The coward-slave, we pass him by, 
We dare be poor for a’ that; 
Fora’ that, and a’ that. 
Our toil’s obscure, and a’ that, 
The rank is but the guinea’s stamp 
The man’s the gowd for a’ that. 
Then let us pray that come it may, 
As come it will for a’ that, 
That sense and worth, o’er a’ the earth, 
May bear the gree, and a’- that. 
For a’ that, and a’ that, 
It’s coming yet for a’ that, 
That man to man, the warld o’er, 
Shall brothers be for a’ that. 
Burns.
