THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 56 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: FOR 'IS' AND 'IS-NOT' THOUGH WITH RULE AND LINE
Last Line: I WAS NEVER DEEP IN ANYTHING BUT -- WINE.
Subject(s): TIME;

For "Is" and "Is-not" though with Rule and Line
And "Up-and-Down" by Logic I define,
Of all that one should care to fathom,
I Was never deep in anything but -- Wine.
