"I'll no say, men are villains a':
 The real, harden'd wicked,
 Wha hae nae check but human law,
 Are to a few restricked;
 But, och! Mankind are unco weak
 An' little to be trusted;
 If Self the wavering balance shake,
 It's rarely right adjusted!
 
 Yet they wha fa' in Fortune's strife,
 Their fate we should na censure;
 For still, th' important end of life
 They equally may answer:
 A man may hae an honest heart,
 Tho' poortith hourly stare him;
 A man may tak a neebor's part,
 Yet hae nae cash to spare him."

  -- Robert Burns (b. 2759-01-26, d. 1796-07-21), from Epistle To A Young Friend
