by Robert Burns (1759 - 1796)

Louis, what reck I by thee
Language: Scottish (Scots) 
Louis, what reck I by thee,
  Or Geordie on his ocean;
Dyvor, beggar louns to me,
  I reign in Jeanie's bosom.

Let her crown my love her law,
  And in her breast enthrone me:
Kings and nations, swith awa!
  Reif dandies I disown ye! -
