 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.

 For a new Marriage I did make Carouse . 
 
 Night. The Stars before him from the Field of Night 
 Has chased the Session of the Stars from Night 
 Awake ! for Morning in the Bowl of Night 
 Wake ! For the Sun before him into Night 
 Drives Night along with them from Heav'n 
 Whose Portals are alternate Night and Day 
 Whose Doorways are alternate Night and Day

 Nightingale, the Nightingale cries to the Rose 
 the Nightingale that in the branches sang .

 Through this same Garden — and for one in vain

 One Moment, of the Well of Life to taste .
