    O wad some power the giftie gie us
    To see oursel's as ithers see us!
    It wad frae monie a blunder free us.
    And foolish notion;
    What airs in dress and gait wad lea'e us,
    And ev'n devotion!

Can others teach the course to steer,
Yet runs himself read more

Can others teach the course to steer,
Yet runs himself life's mad career,
Wild as the wave?
