THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 60 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: THE MIGHTY MAHMUD, ALLAH-BREATHING LORD
Last Line: SCATTERS BEFORE HIM WITH HIS WHIRLWIND SWORD.
Subject(s): TIME;
The mighty Mahmud, Allah-breathing Lord,
That all the misbelieving and black Horde
Of Fears and Sorrows that infest the Soul
Scatters before him with his whirlwind Sword.
