The verse inscribed on the sword, "I Hae a Wife (I HAE A WIFE O MY AIN) I'll partake wi' naebody; I hae a guid braid sword, I'll tak dunts frae naebody," is a testament to Burns' unwavering commitment to his wife and his readiness to defend himself and his loved ones. Burns, born on January 25, 1759, in Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland, was a pioneering figure in the Romantic movement and is considered the national poet of Scotland.
