Robert Burns

It 's guid to be merry and wise, It 's guid to be honest and true, It 's guid to support Caledonia's cause, And bide by the buff and the blue.

Inspiring bold JohnBarleycorn! What dangers thou canst make us scorn! Wi' usquebae, we'll face the devil!

Misled by fancy's meteor ray, By passion driven But yet the light that led astray Was light from heaven.

And wild-scatter'd cowslips bedeck the green dale.
