Kay Khosrow Embraces Rostam

From B14.27, Rostam’s Return to Court. It illustrates B14.27.10–20:

B14.27.10
He bade the elephants be brought, then rode;The world in festive splendor round him glowed.
B14.27.11
Wine, harp, and minstrelsy were sought that day,To grace the world in all its rich array.
B14.27.12
The tabira and ney rang far and wide,When from his place the Shah set forth to ride.
B14.27.13
The elephants’ broad faces shone with wine,With musk and saffron spread along the line.
B14.27.14
Their drivers wore bright crowns, a sight divine,And from their ears hung rings of rich design.
B14.27.15
They showered wine, saffron, and coins below,And sifted musk and ambergris on the show.
B14.27.16
The city rang with minstrels everywhere;Their music rose and filled the festive air.
B14.27.17
When matchless Rostam saw the Shah’s bright crown,He heard rejoicing ring through all the town.
B14.27.18
He left his steed and bowed beside the throng;The Shah asked of his journey, hard and long.
B14.27.19
He clasped him close and held him to his breast;A long while passed before he loosed his guest.
B14.27.20
He blessed him many times and bade him ride;Then, hand in hand, they rode out side by side.
