Rostam Taunts Afrasiab before the Lines

From C2.26, Afrasiab Comes against Rostam. It illustrates C2.26.33–44 (to C2.26.49):

C2.26.33
When Afrasiab beheld that vast array,And Rostam set to lead the coming fray,
C2.26.34
He donned his battle-khaftan, dismayed in mind,And bade his troops halt where they stood aligned.
C2.26.35
He formed opposing ranks; earth passed from view,And all the air turned deep indigo blue.
C2.26.36
The left wing he entrusted to Piran;Brave Houman took the right against Iran.
C2.26.37
The center Shideh and Garsivaz would guide,While Afrasiab looked out on every side.
C2.26.38
Then matchless Rostam moved about the field,A sable mountain, jowshan-clad, with shield.
C2.26.39
He cried, “Ill-fated Turk, whose deeds bring shameTo country, crown, and throne, and all their fame!
C2.26.40
You have no heart for battle, feel no stainOf shame before the chiefs who serve your reign.
C2.26.41
Why bring so many men to make a stand,And spread your horses over all the land?
C2.26.42
When armies close, I know what I shall see:Your back turned from the clash, away from me.
C2.26.43
Have you not heard the ancient words of Zal,The saying he recalled and told to all?
C2.26.44
No lion fears wild asses, weak or strong,Though they should fill a plain, a countless throng.
