Zal Shoots the Waterfowl

From A8.3, The Handmaidens Visit Zal. It illustrates A8.3.15–22:

A8.3.15
With but one servant near, he left his seat,And paced the bank where wind and water meet.
A8.3.16
Across the stream the maidens caught his sight;He drew himself to all his lordly height.
A8.3.17
He called for bow and arrow to be brought,And searched for prey as though by instinct taught.
A8.3.18
He went on foot and marked the swimming birdThat crossed the current, scarcely seen or heard.
A8.3.19
His Turk then strung the bow, its curve drawn tight,And placed it in Zal’s left hand for the flight.
A8.3.20
The bow was drawn, the arrow notched and true,He loosed the shaft, and to the mark it flew.
A8.3.21
The bird fell bleeding; red the river ran;“Cross over; bring it back,” the chief began.
A8.3.22
That good man crossed the stream by boat to whereThe maidens gathered close with watchful stare.
