OP I see. Rythm , cadance, rhyme change with each language. To be true to the original you cannot hold on to those original structures. Tried to find an Eglish E.A Poe Volume, but not even second hand it was to be got.
What I did find was a beautiful sec.hand hardcover of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám.Complete facsimile reprint of the First and combined Third, Fourht and Fifth editions, translated into English quatrains by Edward Fitzgerald. Preface, appendix, notes and illustrations and all.
A 1947 edition for the Book-of-the-Month Club from the original in 1859,in perfect condition. Something new to discover, thanks.
