Rubaiyat



               67

Ah, with the Grape my fading Life provide,
And wash my Body whence the Life has died,
And in a Winding-sheet of Vine-leaf wrapt,
So bury me by some sweet Garden-side.


              68

That ev'n my buried Ashes such a Snare
Of Perfume shall fling up into the Air,
As not a True Believer passing by
But shall be overtaken unaware.


                69

Indeed, the Idols I have loved so long
Have done my Credit in Men's Eye much wrong
Have drowned my Honour in a shallow Cup,
And sold my Reputation for a Song.
