Address to the HaggisBy Robert Burns
(Translation into standard English)
Fair is your honest happy face
Great chieftain of the pudding race
Above them all you take your place
Stomach, tripe 1 or guts 2
Well are you worthy 3 of a grace
As long as my arm
The groaning 4 platter there you fill
Your buttocks like a distant hill
Your skewer 5 would help to repair a mill
In time of need
While through your pores the juices emerge
Like amber 6 beads 7
His knife having seen hard labour wipes
And cuts you up with great skill
Digging into your gushing 8 insides bright
Like any ditch
And then oh what a glorious sight
Warm steaming, rich
Then spoon for spoon
They stretch and strive
Devil take the last man, on they drive
Until all their well swollen 9 bellies 10
Are bent 11 like drums
Then, the old gent most likely to rift 12 (burp)
Be thanked, mumbles 13
Is there that over his French Ragout
Or olio that would sicken a pig
Or fricassee would make her vomit 14
With perfect disgust
Looks down with a sneering 15 scornful opinion
On such a dinner
Poor devil, see him over his trash
As week as a withered 16 rush (reed)
His spindle-shank a good whiplash
His clenched 17 fist…the size of a nut.
Through a bloody 18 flood and battle field to dash
Oh how unfit
But take note of the strong haggis fed Scot
The trembling earth resounds 19 his tread
Clasped in his large fist a blade
He'll make it whistle
And legs and arms and heads he will cut off
Like the tops of thistles
You powers who make mankind your care
And dish them out their meals
Old Scotland wants no watery 20 food
That splashes in dishes
But if you wish her grateful prayer
Give her a haggis!
