Rostam Hears the Chiefs by Lamplight

From B13.26, The Coming of Rostam. It illustrates B13.26.32–43 (to B13.26.50):

B13.26.32
That warrior, that luster of the land,Set up his camp-enclosure where he planned.
B13.26.33
Nimruz’s forces camped behind their lord;Upon the height his lofty standard soared.
B13.26.34
Great Rostam sat upon a royal seat,The chiefs assembled round him at his feet.
B13.26.35
Gudarz and Giv sat near him, Tus in sight,Before the lord of war one lamp burned bright.
B13.26.36
He spoke at length of what they saw befall,Of how the chiefs and troops had faced it all,
B13.26.37
And whether sun and moon would aid them still,Or fortune turn against the warriors’ will.
B13.26.38
The chiefs described the number of their foes,And how that throng across the valley rose.
B13.26.39
They spoke of fierce Kamus and Chin’s high lord,Manshur, Shangul, and all their warrior horde.
B13.26.40
“Of great Kamus himself much may be said;We saw him clearly where the battle spread.
B13.26.41
He is a tree whose fruit is gorz and blade;Though clouds rain stones, he does not stand afraid.
B13.26.42
He would not flee from elephants of war;His heart seeks strife, his head seeks vengeance more.
B13.26.43
Earth scarcely holds Manshur beneath its sky;No chief commands such armies low or high.
