THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 70 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: THE BALL NO QUESTION MAKES OF AYES AND NOES
Last Line: HE KNOWS ABOUT IT ALL -- HE KNOWS -- HE KNOWS!
Subject(s): TIME;
The Ball no question makes of Ayes and Noes,
But Here or There as strikes the Player goes;
And he that tossed you down into the Field,
He knows about it all -- HE knows -- HE knows!
