THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 40 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AS THEN THE TULIP FOR HER MORNING SUP
Last Line: TO EARTH INVERT YOU -- LIKE AN EMPTY CUP.
Subject(s): TIME;
As then the Tulip for her morning sup
Of Heavenly Vintage from the soil looks up,
Do you devoutly do the like, till Heaven
To Earth invert you -- like an empty Cup.
