Liberty’s a glorious feast!
Courts for cowards were erected,
Churches built to please the priest.
What is title? what is treasure?
What is reputation’s care?
If we lead a life of pleasure
This no matter how or where! ”
(The Jolly Beggars)
“Liberty's in every blow!
Let us do, or die!”
(Scots Wha Hae)
“An idiot race to honour lost,
Who know them best, despise them most”
(On Sterling )
“There’s wealth and ease for gentlemen,
And simple-folk maun fecht and fen”
(Count The Lawin)
He had always stood for liberty, equality, justice and honesty and attacked social inequality
