THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 87 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: WHEREAT SOME ONE OF THE LOQUACIOUS LOT
Last Line: "WHO IS THE POTTER, PRAY, AND WHO THE POT?"
Subject(s): TIME;
Whereat some one of the loquacious Lot--
I think a Suffi pipkin -- waxing hot--
"All this of Pot and Potter -- Tell me, then,
Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot?"
