• On 8 August 1788 Burns wrote a diatribe against those with inherited rank and title saying "How wretched is the man that hangs on & by the favors of the Great! To shrink from every dignity of Man at the approach of a lordly piece of Self-consequence, who, amid all his tinsel glitter & stately hauteur, is but a creature formed as thou art - & perhaps not so well formed as thou art - came into the world a puling infant as thou didst, & must go out of it as all men must, a stinking corpse - & should the important piece of clay-dough deign to rest his supercilious eye over you, & make a motion as if to signify his tremendous fiat - then - in all quaking pangs & staring terrors of self-annihilation, to stutter in crouching syllables - 'speak! Lord! for thy servant heareth!!!' If such is the damned state of the poor devil, from my soul I pity him!".
