Gudarz Embraces Piran's Envoy
From C3.20, Piran’s Letter to Gudarz. It illustrates C3.20.91–97:
- C3.20.91When Ruyin came to old Gudarz’s gate,A runner told the chief who stood in wait.
- C3.20.92Gudarz then called the envoy to his side;The youth came through the curtain, eager-eyed.
- C3.20.93He stood before Gudarz, his hands held tightAcross his breast, and bowed within his sight.
- C3.20.94The chief rose swiftly, clasped him to his breast,And held the youth close as an honored guest.
- C3.20.95He asked of Piran, of his gathered band,His warriors, his monarch, and his land.
- C3.20.96Then Ruyin gave the letter he had brought,And spoke the message just as he was taught.
- C3.20.97A scribe came forward, read the letter through,And told Gudarz each word, exact and true.
