The Khan Examines Rostam's Arrow

From B13.28, Rostam Battles Ashkabus. It illustrates B13.28.51–58:

B13.28.51
When Rostam had withdrawn across the plain,The Khan sent out a rider to the slain.
B13.28.52
The rider drew the shaft from where it lay,Blood-darkened to the feathers all the way.
B13.28.53
They passed the shaft throughout the gathered band;All thought a spear had rested in his hand.
B13.28.54
The young Khan saw its feathers and its head;His youthful heart grew old with sudden dread.
B13.28.55
He said to wise Piran, “What is his name?Who is this man among Iran’s men of fame?
B13.28.56
You called them but a remnant, weak and small,Unfit to stand with warriors at all.
B13.28.57
Yet spear-like arrows rest in every hand;A mountain’s heart would shrink before that band.
B13.28.58
You made the matter small in what you said,But falsehood filled the tale that you had spread.”
