THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 36 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: I THINK THE VESSEL, THAT WITH FUGITIVE
Last Line: HOW MANY KISSES MIGHT IT TAKE -- AND GIVE!
Subject(s): TIME;

I think the Vessel, that with fugitive
Articulation answered, once did live,
And drink; and Ah! the passive Lip I kissed,
How many Kisses might it take -- and give!
