THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 13 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: SOME OF THE GLORIES OF THIS WORLD; AND SOME
Last Line: NOR HEED THE RUMBLE OF A DISTANT DRUM!
Subject(s): TIME;

Some for the Glories of This World; and some
Sigh for the Prophet's Paradise to come:
Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go,
Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!
