There is a curious likeness between the philosophy of Omar and that of the Roman, Lucretius, who also expressed his philosophy in verse. Mr. Mallock's rendering of Lucretius, in the same metre as FitzGerald's Omar, presents a telling standard for comparison between the works of the Roman and the Persian poet-philosophers. Mr. Money-Coutts in his preface to " The Rubaiyat" : " Job is less known than Omar, and will, perhaps, soon be less known than Lucretius, now that Mr. Mallock has given us a transmutation of the Roman into the Rubaiyat metre of so smooth and honeyed a dignity that neither the learned nor the unlearned remain unattracted."
