The Death of Manuchehr

From A9.7, Manuchehr’s Last Counsel to His Son. It illustrates A9.7.33–36:

  • A9.7.33
    As thus he spoke, the tears began to flow;Down Manuchehr’s face they streamed in bitter woe.
  • A9.7.34
    And Nohzar wept before his father’s eyes;His bitter grief broke forth in mournful cries.
  • A9.7.35
    The Shah had known no sickness, hurt, or pain;No illness ever weakened heart or brain.
  • A9.7.36
    He closed his Kayanian eyes; his breath grew cold,He withered, and his mortal tale was told.
