PREFACE

A Concordance to a classical translation has, we believe, but rarely been attempted, — and for obvious reasons almost

The RubAiyAt of Omar KhayyAm may be looked upon as affording an excuse for leaving the beaten track in that respect, and the present compilation is offered as a full Index to the use of every separate and distinct word contained in the translation as the Translator left it in the last edition of the poem issued during his lifetime, as well as (secondarily) a full Index to the vocabulary of the first edition of 1859. All variations (occurring in edd. 2 and 3, and otherwhere) from those two widely differing texts find likewise a place in this Concordance ; so that though it does not give a reference to quatrain and line in all the editions where the same phrase is used, it is practically a complete Index to the entire work in all its distinct forms. The versions of edd 3 and 4 {i.e. of 1872 and 1879) are nearly the same, the number of quatrains being the same, and running in exact parallel as regards the text, the text of one being identical (almost) with the other. As regards the text of the second edition (1868), it occupies no fewer than 1 10 quatrains, or nine more than figure in the Translator's final version of 1879. A " Comparative Table of Stanzas in the Four Editions " has already been furnished in all the recent editions, so that should any consulter of the present work desire to refer to the text of the second edition he can readily find it by referring to the Table referred to.

VI CONCORDANCE TO OMAR KHAYYAM

Our work not only covers the entire text of the published continuous versions, but includes as well all variants to be found in FitzGerald's first draught of his third edition of the poem, and one or two items occurring in MS.

A brief table of condensed references we give at the head of our work, and trust the succeeding pages may be found a full and exact aid to the study of a unique literary performance — one that will stand the stress of time whatever modifications may occur in the general questioning mind in regard to the great theme of Man : his Where, Whence, and Whither. As the Latin Lucretius will not fall from his pinnacle in the World's Hierarchy, so it may confidently be predicted that his Persian prototype will always main- tain the exalted position he now occupies in the esteem not only of his brethren of the East, but of those in the West.

A CONCORDANCE TO

A. There was a Veil past which I could not see

" A blind Understanding !" Heav'n replied

For a new Marriage I did make carouse .

'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show

Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun .

'Tis all a Chequer-board of Nights and Days

" Folks of a surly Tapster tell .

" Folks of a surly Master tell .

Then said another with a long-drawn Sigh

And in a Windingsheet of Vine-leaf wrapt .

And a retreating Whisper, as I wake —

Fold, and dissolve you in a last embrace .

kick so poor a coward from the place

there gather'd a scarce heard

Whisper

One on a sudden peevishly exclaim'd

on a fairer leaf

Inscribe our names

A Signal flung that put the Stars to flight .

For, in your Ear a moment

Listen — a moment listen ! ...

Abide. In this clay carcase crippled to abide ?

So long in this Clay Suburb to abide ? Abjure. I must abjure the Balm of Life Abode. Abode his destined Hour, and went his way

Abode his Hour or two, and went his way About. Look to the blowing Rose about us

Look to the Rose that blows about us
