Sudabeh Defies Her Father's Men

From B6.3, Hamavaran’s King Imprisons Kavus. It illustrates B6.3.45–55:

B6.3.45
Two veiled companies came to fetch the bride,A splendid litter moving at their side.
B6.3.46
They trampled down the tents in cruel display,And bore her from the ruined camp away.
B6.3.47
When she beheld them come, she cried aloud,And rent her robes before the watching crowd.
B6.3.48
She tore her musk-black hair, a kamand strand,And clawed her cheeks with her own anguished hand.
B6.3.49
She cried: “True men would scorn so foul a deed;No noble heart would praise the path you lead.
B6.3.50
Why not confront him when the battle shone,Jowshan his robe, his charger for a throne?
B6.3.51
When Giv, Gudarz, and Tus stood in array,The koust resounded through the battle day,
B6.3.52
You made the golden throne an ambush-place,And stained this bond of kinship with disgrace.”
B6.3.53
She called them dogs as blood and tears ran red,Across her rose-like cheeks where grief had spread.
B6.3.54
“I will not leave Kay Kavus in his chain,Though in a darkened grave he should remain.
B6.3.55
If Kavus bears the chain, then strike me dead;I am innocent; take instead my head.”
