Come, Fill the Cup - The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

The 1st & 4th Editions of The Rubáiyát by FitzGerald, also variations from the 2nd & 3rd Editions ­ the famous impressionistic translation from the Persian into English of the quatrains by Omar Khayyám. This is one of the great poems in the English language. It laments the inexorable passing of time, and urges the reader to enjoy the grape (life?!) while he can, since soon all will wither and die.
