Sudabeh Unveils and Kisses Siavash

From B9.8, Siavash Visits the Bower Again. It illustrates B9.8.28–39 (to B9.8.45):

B9.8.28
He gave no answer; then she raised the screenThat veiled her face and let her beauty gleam:
B9.8.29
“If sun and new moon shared a single seat,Their rival lights together there would meet,
B9.8.30
No wonder if the moon should lose its pride,When such a sun was shining at its side.
B9.8.31
Whoever sees me on this ivory throne,With ruby, turquoise crown above me shown,
B9.8.32
Would turn no eye toward moon or lesser face,Nor count another woman near my grace.
B9.8.33
If you will pledge yourself to me this day,Turn not aside, but drive my fear away.
B9.8.34
One of these daughters I will give to you,To stand before you, loyal, steadfast, true.
B9.8.35
Now swear an oath and do not turn aside;When Kavus leaves this world, by me abide.
B9.8.36
Be his memorial, and guard me well;Hold me as dear as life while here I dwell.
B9.8.37
Behold me now: before you here I stand;My body and my soul are in your hand.
B9.8.38
Whatever earth contains shall be your share;I will not turn from any wish you bear.”
B9.8.39
She clasped his head and kissed him, heedless thenOf fear and justice in the eyes of men.
