Khosrow Avenges Siavash

From C4.44, The Death of Afrasiab and Garsivaz. It illustrates C4.44.27–29:

• C4.44.27
  Now is the day when God repays the ill;He pays ill back with ill, as justice will.”
• C4.44.28
  With Indian sword he struck the tyrant’s neck,And cast his lifeless body down, a wreck.
• C4.44.29
  His face and white beard both were red with blood,While Garsivaz lost hope beside the flood.
