Affliction's sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
Ah, gentle dames! it gars we greet, To think how mony consels sweet, How mony lengthened, sage advices, The husband frae the wife despises.
And there begins a lang digression about the lords o' the creation.
Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.
Dare to be honest and fear no labor.... (more Robert Burns quotes)
