Bahram Challenges the Watchers

From B12.5, Bahram Meets Forood on the Mountain. It illustrates B12.5.12–22:

B12.5.12
When Bahram nearer to the summit drew,His thunderous challenge through the mountain flew:
B12.5.13
“Who are you standing on the mountain height?Do you not see that vast assembled might?
B12.5.14
Do you not hear the buq and koust arise,Or fear brave Tus beneath the open skies?”
B12.5.15
The prince replied: “No harshness have you known;Speak gently, seasoned chief, with tempered tone.
B12.5.16
You are no lion raging in the plain,Nor am I Gur-e-Khar beneath your rein.
B12.5.17
You do not stand above me in your might,In courage, strength, or manhood in the fight.
B12.5.18
Consider hand and foot, and heart and head,And wit and speech by which all men are led;
B12.5.19
Consider eyes and ears and judgment clear;Judge whether all these gifts in me appear.
B12.5.20
If so, then cast aside your foolish threat,And speak with sense before you must regret.
B12.5.21
If you will answer, I would question you,And gladly hear a counsel wise and true.”
B12.5.22
Then Bahram said: “Ask all you wish to know;You stand in heaven, while I remain below.”
