Robert Burns -Addresed to a gentleman...-

Addresed to a gentleman..
Robert Burns (Scotland, 1759-1796)

Addresed to a gentleman at table
who kept boasting of the company he kept.

What of lords with whom you've supped,
And of dukes that you dined with yestreen!
A louse, sir, is still a louse,
Though it crawl on the locks of a queen.


Dirigido a un comensal...

Dirigido a un comensal que presumía
de las compañías que frecuentaba.

¡Seguid comiendo con lores
y con duques id de cena!
El piojo es también piojo
en los bucles de una reina.
