A Man's A Man For A' That, Robert Burns 1795:
Is there for honest Poverty
That hings his head, an' a' that;
The coward slave-we pass him by,
We dare be poor for a' that!
For a' that, an' a' that.
Our toils obscure an' a' that,
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The Man's the gowd for a' that.
What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an' a that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
A Man's a Man for a' that:
For a' that, and a' that,
Their tinsel show, an' a' that;
The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,
Is king o' men for a' that.
Ye see yon birkie, ca'd a lord,
Wha struts, an' stares, an' a' that;
Tho' hundreds worship at his word,
He's but a coof for a' that:
For a' that, an' a' that,
His ribband, star, an' a' that:
The man o' independent mind
He looks an' laughs at a' that.
A prince can mak a belted knight,
A marquis, duke, an' a' that;
But an honest man's abon his might,
Gude faith, he maunna fa' that!
For a' that, an' a' that,
Their dignities an' a' that;
The pith o' sense, an' pride o' worth,
Are higher rank than a' that.
Then let us pray that come it may,
(As come it will for a' that,)
That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth,
Shall bear the gree, an' a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that,
It's coming yet for a' that,
That Man to Man, the world o'er,
Shall brothers be for a' that.

| Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh on their wedding day Image via Martin Frost |
When Prince Phillip married then-Princess Elizabeth, he renounced his titles as a prince of Greece and Denmark, and he was created Duke of Edinburgh, a title that had previously been used by grandsons and second sons of the kings and queens of England. Until Elizabeth's coronation in 1952, the couple were known as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
During the Victorian era, Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote A Welcome to the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh for then Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Alfred and his bride Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia, on the occasion of their wedding.
Note: The two-hand turns in this dance are Edinburgh turns. Normally, when turns with two hands in quick time are danced with pas-de-basque, but in this case, they are danced with skip-change-of-step.
