Rubaiyat

And daub his Visage with the Smoke of Hell ;
They talk of some strict Testing of us--Pish!
He's a Good Fellow, and 'twill all be well."

“My Clay with long oblivion is gone dry :
But, fill me with the old familiar Juice,
Methinks I might recover by-and-by"

One spied the little Crescent all were seeking :
And then they jogg'd each other, "Brother! Brother! I
Hark to the Porter's Shoulder-knot a-creaking."
