THE RUBAIYAT, 1889 EDITION: 13 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: SOME FOR THE GLORIES OF THIS WORLD; AND SOME
Last Line: NOR HEED THE RUMBLE OF A DISTANT DRUM!
Some for the Glories of this World; and some
Sigh for the Prophet's Paradise to come;
Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go,
Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!
