Oh wad some power the giftie gie us
To see oursel's as others see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
And foolish notion.
Commonly quoted, "It is worse than a crime,—it is a blunder," and attributed to Talleyrand.
In men this blunder still you find,—
All think their little set mankind.
Youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle; old age a regret.
