Afrasiab Greets Siavash on Foot
From B9.32, Siavash’s Audience with Afrasiab. It illustrates B9.32.1–4:
- B9.32.1When word was brought the prince was at the gate,Afrasiab went out, and did not wait.
- B9.32.2On foot, his waist bound tight, he hastened near,To greet the prince with open-hearted cheer.
- B9.32.3The prince dismounted when he saw the king,And hastened forth his greeting first to bring.
- B9.32.4They clasped each other, kissed both eyes and head,And joy among the watching nobles spread.
