THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 30 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: WHAT, WITHOUT ASKING, HITHER HURRIED WHENCE?
Last Line: MUST DROWN THE MEMORY OF THAT INSOLENCE!
Subject(s): TIME;

What, without asking, hither hurried Whence?
And, without asking, Whither hurried hence!
Oh, many a Cup of this forbidden Wine
Must drown the memory of that insolence!
