[201]. So Omar Khayyám—
“Oh Thou, who didst with pitfall and with gin
Beset the Road I was to wander in,
Thou wilt not with Predestined Evil round
Emmesh, and then impute my Fall to Sin.”
(Fitzgerald, ed. 4, stanza 80.)
And our own poet—
“Thou madest man in the garden; thou temptedst man, and he fell,” etc.
(For the original of the stanzas on Predestination in Fitzgerald’s Omar, see, e.g., the Persian text of Whinfield, quatrains 100, 126, 197.)
