Unmatch'd at the bottle, unconquer'd in war, He drank his poor god-ship as deep as the sea; No tide of the Baltic e'er drunker than he.

Additional quotes by Robert Burns

Before the morn ye'll work mischief:''
Indeed will I,'' quo' Findlay.

-Ти май си нещо наумил.
-Май нещо - каза Финдли.

But little Mouse, you are not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often askew,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!
Still you are blest, compared with me!
