And look- a thousand Blossoms with the Day
Woke- and a thousand scatter'd into Clay:
And this first Summer Month that brings the Rose
Shall take Jamshyd and Kaikobad away.

They say the Lion and the Lizard keep
The courts where Jamshyd gloried and drank deep:
And Bahram, the great Hunter- the Wild Ass
Stamps o'er his Head, and he lies fast asleep.
[The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, translated by Edward FitzGerald]
