6. Address to a Haggis
Address to a Haggis is one of Robert Burns' most famous and regularly performed poems. Written in 1786 not long after Burns arrived in Edinburgh, this poem has become the centerpiece of Burns' Suppers today. First two lines of the address are: ‘Fair fa’ yer honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o’ the puddin’ race!’ Tłumaczenie: Witaj oblicze szczere i radosne, o wielki wodzu kiełbasowej rasy!
