Question about the interview between Borges and the generally irritating Selden Rodman: where are the four-letter words Borges was supposedly offended by in Burns' "Is there for honest poverty"?

I wonder why I don't care more about Burns, who had a sane take on things. It might have to do with the dialect - on the page Scots seems made up to me.

As does the Boston accent. I can never shake the feeling it's a mass put-on.
