Goshtasb Cleaves the Horned Wolf

From C5.10, Goshtasb Slays the Wolf. It illustrates C5.10.16–26:

C5.10.16
He moved with caution till he neared the lair,Then raised a cry that thundered through the air.
C5.10.17
The wolf beheld him from the forest shade,Its roar rose to the clouds above the glade.
C5.10.18
Like lion or fierce leopard in its wrath,It tore the ground with claws across his path.
C5.10.19
Goshtasb beheld the monster and drew tightHis bow, and showered arrows swift in flight.
C5.10.20
His arrows fell upon the beast like rain,As spring clouds pour across the open plain.
C5.10.21
Wounded by shafts that pierced its hide and mane,The beast grew fiercer from the burning pain.
C5.10.22
It rose in fury, charged across the ground,A mighty camel in its bulk and bound.
C5.10.23
Its horns thrust forward, like a stag’s, it came,Its heart all blood, its wounds a searing flame.
C5.10.24
It reached the horse and drove a horn in deep,Into the black steed’s haunch with one fierce sweep.
C5.10.25
It tore from groin to navel through the hide;Goshtasb drew the sword hung at his side.
C5.10.26
On foot he struck the middle of its head;Split through the neck and trunk, the beast lay dead.
