Calcutta nr. 263

How long this knavery & hypocrisy of soul
How long the desire & repulse of the Saki Omar
Verily I from that perversity & cup
I pour this remainder of life to the earth like a cup.

Thompson 1906 - 853
How long of this life's fraud and treachery,
Bearer, how long life's very dregs give me?
Till from its strife and grief, as but a draught,
I pour to earth what left of life may be.
