hink ye, that sic as you and I,Wha drudge and drive thro' wet an' dry,Wi' never-ceasing toil;Think ye, are we less blest than they,Wha scarcely tent us in their way,As hardly worth their while?Alas! how aft, in haughty moodGod's creatures they oppress!Or else, neglecting a' that's guid,They riot in excess!Baith careless and fearlessOf either heaven or hell!Esteeming and deemingIt's a' an idle tale!
