When they were blithe with wine and, eating done, Were quaffing draught on draught, Rúzbih appeared Before the Sháh. They lodged him in the village. Rúzbih had brought a litter and withal Two score of eunuchs, all moon-face and charming. Those Humans’ faces seemed brocade of Rúm, And freshened all the country round. Árzú, A crown of jewels set upon her head, Toward the bower of Sháh Bahrám Gúr sped.
