THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 75 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: I TELL YOU THIS - WHEN, STARTED FROM THE GOAL
Last Line: IN MY PREDESTINED PLOT OF DUST AND SOUL
Subject(s): TIME;
I tell you this -- When, started from the Goal,
Over the flaming shoulders of the Foal
Of Heaven Parwin and Mushtari they flung,
In my predestined Plot of Dust and Soul
