THE RUBAIYAT, 1889 EDITION: 55 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: YOU KNOW, MY FRIENDS, WITH WHAT A BRAVE CAROUSE
Last Line: AND TOOK THE DAUGHTER OF THE VINE TO SPOUSE.

You know, my Friends, with what a brave Carouse
I made a Second Marriage in my house;
Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed,
And took the Daughter of the Vine to Spouse.
