[9] But come with old Khayyam, and leave the Lot

by Omar Khayyam

English version by Edward FitzGerald
Original Language Persian/Farsi

But come with old Khayyam, and leave the Lot
Of Kaikobad and Kaikhosru forgot:
     Let Rustum lay about him as he will,
Or Hatim Tai cry Supper -- heed them not.
