THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 43 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: SO WHEN THAT ANGEL OF THE DARKER DRINK
Last Line: FORTH TO YOUR LIPS TO QUAFF -- YOU SHALL NOT SHRINK.
Subject(s): TIME;
So when that Angel of the darker Drink
At last shall find you by the river-brink,
And, offering his Cup, invite your Soul
Forth to your Lips to quaff -- you shall not shrink.
