Rostam Lassoes Kamus

From B13.32, Rostam Slays Kamus. It illustrates B13.32.8–17:

B13.32.8
Kamus the brave spurred on his battle steed,And charged at Rostam with a warrior’s speed.
B13.32.9
He swung his glittering sword with all his might,To sever Rostam’s head there in the fight.
B13.32.10
The sword struck Rakhsh upon the neck and toreHis bargostvan, the battle-coat he wore.
B13.32.11
Yet Rakhsh was safe and whole beneath the blow;The hero coiled his kamand for the throw.
B13.32.12
He cast the kamand round the Kashan lord;Then spurred the raging Rakhsh and drew the cord.
B13.32.13
He pinned the rawhide firmly with his thigh;Rakhsh seemed an eagle winging through the sky.
B13.32.14
Kamus, still fearless, gripped his steed with force,Pressed hard the stirrups and gave rein to horse.
B13.32.15
He strained to break the twisted rawhide thong,And tear its coils apart, so taut and strong.
B13.32.16
Kamus grew frantic; still the rawhide held.Rostam reined Rakhsh in, his wild rush quelled.
B13.32.17
He wheeled his mount and pulled the cord around,And jerked Kamus headforemost to the ground.
