  Omar Khayyam (1868). “Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, rendered into Engl. verse [by E. Fitzgerald. 2nd version].”, p.6

• Old Khayyám, say you, is a debauchee;If only you were half so good as he!He sins no sins but gentle drunkenness,Great-hearted mirth, and kind adultery.But yours the cold heart, and the murderous tongue,The wintry soul that hates to hear a song,The close-shut fist, the mean and measuring eye,And all the little poisoned ways of wrong.
