Old Scotia...
While there is a dram in the flask, and peat in the hearth (there is beneath the coal), and the strength of Ailsa Craig granite to make the stone... minor issues like defeat on the rugby field will pass.
Burns looked at a common scene - a fireside in a farmhand's cottage - and waxed lyrical...
From scenes like these, old Scotia's grandeur springs
That makes her lov'd at home, rever'd abroad:
Princes and lords are but the breath of kings,
'An honest man's the noblest work of God';
