THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 54 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: WASTE NOT YOUR HOUR, NOR IN THE VAIN PURSUIT
Last Line: THAN SADDEN AFTER NONE, OR BITTER, FRUIT.
Subject(s): TIME;
Waste not your Hour, nor in the vain pursuit
Of This and That endeavor and dispute;
Better be jocund with the fruitful Grape
Than sadden after none, or bitter, Fruit.
