How Bahrám, the Son of Siyáwush, took Bandwí and carried him to Bahrám Chúbína

When earth grew sun-hued eloquent Bandwí C. 1896 Went to the roof and thus addressed Bahrám :— “ Experienced one ! when dust rose from the plain Khusrau Parwíz a t sight of you departed, He and his troops, in haste toward Rúm, and now, Wert thou to wing it eagle-like and soar Above the sun, thou wouldst not spy the Sháh Unless in Rúm where he hath aged by now ; But if ye grant me quarter I will come Forth to thy valiant chief and I will answer All questions asked of me about ourselves, But if not I will arm and send the dust In combat to the sun.”
