THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 93 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: INDEED THE IDOLS I HAVE LOVED SO LONG
Last Line: AND SOLD MY REPUTATION FOR A SONG.
Subject(s): TIME;

Indeed, the Idols I have loved so long
Have done my credit in this World much wrong:
Have drowned my Glory in a shallow Cup,
And sold my Reputation for a Song.
