Rabbie Burns poems are well known and loved, though a translation may be required here and there. Here’s My Handsome Nell – the very first of many celebrated Rabbie Burns poems:

My Handsome Nell
O, once I lov'd a bonnie lass,
Ay, and I love her still;
And, whilst that virtue warms my breast
I'll love my handsome Nell.
As bonnie lasses I hae seen,
And mony full as braw;
But for a modest gracefu' mien,
The like I never saw.
A bonnie lass, I will confess,
Is pleasant to the e'e,
But without some better qualities,
She's no a lass for me.
But Nelly's looks are blythe and sweet,
And what is best of a' -
Her reputation is complete,
And fair without a flaw.
She dresses aye sae clean and neat,
Baith decent and genteel:
An' then there's something in her gait
Gars ony dress look weel.
A gaudy dress and gentle air
May slightly touch the heart;
But it's innocence and modesty
That polishes the dart.
'T is this in Nelly pleases me,
'T is this enchants my soul!
For absolutely in my breast
She reigns without control.
