Lohrasp Hears of the Rider in Rum

From C5.16, Caesar Demands Iran’s Tribute. It illustrates C5.16.44–55 (to C5.16.56):

C5.16.44
A rider has arrived in Caesar’s land,Who takes the lion from the wood by hand.
C5.16.45
On battle-days he laughs at warrior might;At feasts he drains the goblet with delight.
C5.16.46
In fight, in feast, and on the hunting-day,No living man can rival his display.
C5.16.47
To him the Caesar gave his daughter fair,Dearer than crown or throne or jeweled chair.
C5.16.48
His tale is told throughout the Roman land:The mighty dragon fell beneath his hand.
C5.16.49
A wolf, an elephant in bulk and height,Had made the Caesar shun its haunts in fright.
C5.16.50
He slew the wolf and tore its teeth away,And freed the Romans, who had been its prey.”
C5.16.51
Lohrasp then asked, “You speak the truth; declareWhat warrior’s shape and stature does he share?”
C5.16.52
The envoy answered, “First, his face and browCould pass for brave Zarir’s beside you now.
C5.16.53
In stature, bearing, culture, judgment clear,You would believe you saw the same Zarir.”
C5.16.54
Lohrasp’s face brightened at the words he heard;He showed the Roman kindness, deeply stirred.
C5.16.55
He gave him slaves and purses richly weighed;The envoy left rejoicing, well repaid.
