THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 25 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: ALIKE FOR THOSE WHO FOR TODAY PREPARE
Last Line: "FOOLS! YOUR REWARD IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE."
Subject(s): TIME;
Alike for those who for To-day prepare,
And those that after some To-morrow stare,
A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries,
"Fools! your Reward is neither Here nor There."
