Khosrow Turns from Tus

From B12.20, Kay Khosrow Recalls Tus. It illustrates B12.20.50–52:

• B12.20.50
  Arriving there, brave Tus bowed to the ground,But Khosrow turned his gaze and looked not round.
• B12.20.51
  The Shah poured curses on the warrior’s head,And shamed him before all with words of dread.
• B12.20.52
  At last he cried: “O man of evil sign,May fame among the champions cease to shine!
