 Alba gu bráth - Scotland Until Judgment

Fickle Fortune
Though fickle Fortune has deceived me,
She pormis'd fair and perform'd but ill;
Of mistress, friends, and wealth bereav'd me,
Yet I bear a heart shall support me still.

I'll act with prudence as far 's I'm able,

But if success I must never find,
Then come misfortune, I bid thee welcome,
I'll meet thee with an undaunted mind.

Robert Burns - 1782

(Hessian Officer on American War of Independence 1778)

Call this war by whatever name you may, only call it not an American rebellion; it is nothing more or
less than a Scotch Irish Presbyterian rebellion.
