Kavus Laughs at His Son's Warning

From B9.7, Siavash Visits Sudabeh. It illustrates B9.7.54–65 (to B9.7.73):

B9.7.54
When morning came, Siavash returned to bringHis blessing to the throne and to the king.
B9.7.55
The Shah dismissed the rest, and when they went,He spoke in private, earnest in intent:
B9.7.56
“One hidden longing stirs within my heart,For which I ask the World-Creator’s part:
B9.7.57
Let your own name remain through ages known,And from your seed may rise a royal throne.
B9.7.58
As I take joy to look upon your face,So may your son bring you the selfsame grace.
B9.7.59
The stars have shown me what the years will bring:That from your line shall rise a mighty king.
B9.7.60
The star-counting Mobadan read your sign;They saw a future sovereign in your line.
B9.7.61
Look first where Kay Pashin’s young daughters dwell;Among the great, choose one who suits you well.
B9.7.62
Kay Arash too has daughters of high birth;If asked, his house would join with yours in worth.”
B9.7.63
He answered: “I obey the Shah’s decree;His will alone is law enough for me.
B9.7.64
Whomever you select shall be my bride;Your servant follows where his Shah shall guide.
B9.7.65
But do not let Sudabeh hear this choice;She twists its meaning with another voice.
