Kaveh Raises His Apron on a Spear

From A5.5, Zahhak and Kaveh the Blacksmith. It illustrates A5.5.56–66:

A5.5.56
When Kaveh left, the market roared aloud,And men surged in to form a swelling crowd.
A5.5.57
He raised his voice and called on all to rise,To stand as one against the tyrant’s lies.
A5.5.58
He seized his apron, blackened, rough, and worn,And raised it on a spear, though poor and torn.
A5.5.59
He raised it high and strode the market way,While dust rose thick and swallowed up the day.
A5.5.60
He cried, “O men of name who worship God,Cast off his chains and break the tyrant’s rod!
A5.5.61
Let those who seek release from chains of painNow gather round Fereydoon upon the plain.
A5.5.62
Come all together, rally to his side;Beneath his royal farr let hope abide.
A5.5.63
This king is Ahriman upon the throne,His serpent-fed injustice widely known.
A5.5.64
Within his heart the World-Creator’s foeHas made his home and filled the world with woe.”
A5.5.65
That simple leather, rough and poor to see,Became the sign of truth and loyalty.
A5.5.66
Around him gathered many, bold and strong,Resolved no more to bear the tyrant’s wrong.
