THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 58 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AND LATELY, BY THE TARVERN DOOR AGAPE
Last Line: E BID ME TASTE OF IT; AND 'T WAS -- THE GRAPE!
Subject(s): TIME;
And lately, by the Tavern Door agape,
Came shining through the Dusk an Angel Shape
Bearing a Vessel on his Shoulder; and
e bid me taste of it; and 't was -- the Grape!
