The Maidens Bring Zal's Gifts

From A8.4, The Handmaidens Return. It illustrates A8.4.13–24:

A8.4.13
They passed within and sought their mistress out,And told their secrets, joy beyond all doubt.
A8.4.14
“No sun so bright has ever met our sight;His cheeks are ruddy, ivory tresses white!”
A8.4.15
Rudabeh’s heart leapt high with sudden flame,And longing rose when anyone said his name.
A8.4.16
They laid his gifts before her, gold and bright,The jewels that shimmered softly in the light.
A8.4.17
She questioned them: “Tell all; conceal no part:What did you find in Zal, that lion-heart?
A8.4.18
Is he indeed as worthy as men say?Or is his fame but smoke that drifts away?”
A8.4.19
Encouraged now, the maidens spoke as one:“No finer horseman lives beneath the sun.
A8.4.20
A cypress in his stature, straight and tall,With royal grace that crowns and conquers all.
A8.4.21
What form, what color, what commanding air!What slender waist, what shoulders broad and square!
A8.4.22
His eyes are like narcissi wet with dew,His lips like coral, cheeks like roses new.
A8.4.23
His arms are lion-strong in bone and might,Mobad at heart, with royal farr alight.
A8.4.24
His white hair is a fault, but no disgrace;It lends him wonder, adding to his grace.
