Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, the astronomer-poet of Persia; . A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread — and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness —Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow ! Some for the Glories of this World; and someSigh for the Prophets Paradise to come; Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go,Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum ! Look to the blowing Rose about us — Lo,Laughing, she says, into the world I blow, At once the silken tassel of my PurseTear, and its Treasure on the Garden throw.
