THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 90 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: SO WHILE THE VESSELS ONE BY ONE WERE SPEAKING
Last Line: "NOW FOR THE PORTER'S SHOULDER-KNOT A-CREAKING!"
Subject(s): TIME;
So while the Vessels one by one were speaking
The little Moon looked in that all were seeking:
And then they jogged each other, "Brother! Brother!
Now for the Porter's shoulder-knot a-creaking!"
