THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 42 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AND IF THE WINE YOU DRINK, THE LIP YOU PRESS
Last Line: YOU WERE -- TO-MORROW YOU SHALL NOT BE LESS.
Subject(s): TIME;
And if the Wine you drink, the Lip you press,
End in what All begins and ends in -- Yes;
Think then you are To-day what Yesterday
You were -- To-morrow you shall not be less.
