Giv Questions a Lone Man at the Frontier

From B10.16, Giv Seeks Kay Khosrow in Turan. It illustrates B10.16.54–60:

B10.16.54
By His command bold Giv his waist then bound,And came like some fierce lion to the ground.
B10.16.55
Alone he went, no comrade at his side,His sheltered life to God he would confide.
B10.16.56
He rode until he reached Turan’s frontier,And seized each lone man who would venture near.
B10.16.57
In Turkish, he would question captured men,And ask where Kay Khosrow was dwelling then.
B10.16.58
If one replied, “I have no news to tell,”Giv struck him dead, and where he stood he fell.
B10.16.59
He hung the corpse within his kamand’s bend,Then heaped the earth above him at the end.
B10.16.60
So none could learn his secret or his name,Nor hear report of how the stranger came.
