Ilyas's Envoy Tempts Farrokhzad

From C5.14, Caesar Demands Tribute from Ilyas. It illustrates C5.14.35–46 (to C5.14.49):

C5.14.35
Goshtasb led forth the Roman ranks and woundBeyond the city to the open ground.
C5.14.36
With ox-head gorz he rode beside the stream,Tall as a cypress where the waters gleam.
C5.14.37
He chose the open plain where ranks would meet,And sent dust heavenward beneath his feet.
C5.14.38
Then Ilyas saw his shoulders and his grace,His turning wrist, his gorz’s sweep and pace.
C5.14.39
He sent a horseman, smooth in speech and sly,To bait Goshtasb with praise and subtle lie.
C5.14.40
The horseman said, “O rider, famed and wise,Do not let Caesar’s favor cloud your eyes.
C5.14.41
You are the horseman on whom all depend;His spring and fame through you alone ascend.
C5.14.42
Stand clear of both these armies; turn aside.Why should your lips with angry foam be dyed?
C5.14.43
Ilyas is a lion in the fray;More swift than dust, he comes to bar your way.
C5.14.44
If you seek gifts, Ilyas has his store;Why toil for wealth when he can give you more?
C5.14.45
Choose any portion of the world you name;Within that region you shall rise to fame.
C5.14.46
I shall be both your servant and your friend,And never break my pledge until the end.”
