THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 17 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: THINK, IN THIS BATTERED CARAVANSERAI
Last Line: ABODE HIS DESTINED HOUR, AND WENT HIS WAY.
Subject(s): FREEDOM; TIME; LIBERTY;
Think, in this battered Caravanserai
Whose Portals are alternate Night and Day,
How Sultan after Sultan with his Pomp
Abode his destined Hour, and went his way.
