THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 61 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: WHY, BE THIS JUICE THE GROWTH OF GOD, WHO DARE
Last Line: AND IF A CURSE -- WHY, THEN, WHO SET IT THERE?
Subject(s): TIME;
Why, be this Juice the growth of God, who dare
Blaspheme the twisted tendril as a Snare?
A Blessing, we should use it, should we not?
And if a Curse -- why, then, Who set it there?
