Farangis Counsels Khosrow and Giv

From B10.18, Giv and Kay Khosrow Go to Siavash-Gard. It illustrates B10.18.5–16 (to B10.18.25):

B10.18.5
When heart and reason steadied from their fear,They brought Farangis to their counsel near.
B10.18.6
The three resolved together to depart,Unseen by hostile warriors from the start.
B10.18.7
“We must depart unseen,” the lady said,“Or else all hope of freedom shall be dead.
B10.18.8
If we delay, the world will close us round,And every road to freedom will be bound.
B10.18.9
Afrasiab will hear and lose all rest,Then turn from food and sleep, by rage possessed.
B10.18.10
He will come like the White Div in his might,And sweet life then will vanish from our sight.
B10.18.11
Not one of us will then remain alive,By open means or hidden, none survive.
B10.18.12
The world is filled with enemies and fear;This land is held in Ahriman’s dark sphere.
B10.18.13
Hear now my counsel, son endowed with farr;Keep every word, for danger is not far.
B10.18.14
There lies a meadow, not far from this way,Apart from where the riders of Tur stray.
B10.18.15
At dawn, with Giv, take saddle, bridle black,And to that meadow follow hidden track.
B10.18.16
You will behold a mountain reaching high,Where clouds rub faces on its crown of sky.
