Forood's Arrow Fells Rivniz

From B12.7, Forood Slays Rivniz. It illustrates B12.7.17–19:

  • B12.7.17
    Then Rivniz nearer to the summit came;Forood drew taut his shiz bow to aim.
  • B12.7.18
    From high a poplar shaft against him sped,And stitched his Roman helmet to his head.
  • B12.7.19
    The rider crashed; his charger turned away,His head sank deep in dust where Rivniz lay.
