What is sae?

Famous quotes containing the word sae:

    Wee, sleeket, cowran, tim’rous beastie,
    O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!
    Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
    Wi’ bickering brattle!
    I wad be laith to rin an’ chase thee,
    Wi’ murd’ring pattle!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Or were I in the wildest waste,
    Sae black and bare, sae black and bare,
    The desert were a Paradise,
    If thou wert there, if thou wert there.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Had we never lov’d sae kindly,
    Had we never lov’d sae blindly,
    Never met—or never parted,
    We had ne’er been broken hearted.
