Swith! in some beggar’s haffet squattle;
there ye may creep, and sprawl, and sprattle
wi’ ither kindred, jumping cattle,
in shoals and nations:
whare horn nor bane ne’er dare unsettle
your thick plantations.
in these lines of verse from “to a louse” by robert burns, what does the speaker command the louse to do?

Crawl on some poor beggar.

Explanation:

Robert Burns is regarded as the 'National poet of Scotland'. He is among the most read poets of his time. In this excerpt from the poem "To a Louse", the poet exemplifies the poet's command to a louse to 'crawl on some poor beggar" and i.e. his true place for its inhabitation (a beggar's head full of his unruly and unmanageable hair). The poet compares the head of a beggar to a field, louse to "cattle" and his hair to "thick plantations" that suggests the triviality of Louse that it would love the cattle's company. The lines reveal the anguish of the poet against the Louse as it dared to touch the gentle lady(could be his beloved).

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
