Ye Hypocrites, are these your pranks
To murder men and gie God thanks
Desist for shame, proceed no further
God won't accept your thanks for murder.

Additional quotes by Robert Burns

Perhaps Dundee's wild-warbling measures rise, Or plaintive Martyrs, worthy of the name.

An honest man here lies at rest,
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so inform'd;
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.

The rank is but the guinea's stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that. For a' that an a' that.

Ye Hypocrites, are these your pranks To murder men and gie God thanks Desist for shame, proceed no further God won't accept your thanks for murder. - Robert Burns
