Hishvi Ferries the Prince to Rum

From C5.5, Goshtasb Arrives in Rum. It illustrates C5.5.1–12:

C5.5.1
Goshtasb dismounted when he reached the coast,And saw the toll-man standing at his post.
C5.5.2
The keeper’s name was Hishvi, old and wise,A generous man with keen and watchful eyes.
C5.5.3
Goshtasb saluted: “May your spirit brightKeep wisdom as its mate and walk in light.
C5.5.4
A noted scribe from Iran comes to you,Wise, quick to learn, and clear in judgment too.
C5.5.5
To ferry me across would earn my praise,A favor I shall honor all my days.”
C5.5.6
Then Hishvi said, “A crown befits your might,Or jowshan, sword, and plunder won in fight.
C5.5.7
Reveal your secret; tell me what you hide;Do not seek passage thus across the tide.
C5.5.8
A gift is needed, if the truth you tell;Where is the scribe’s demeanor, known so well?”
C5.5.9
Goshtasb replied, “No secret lies with me;I hide from you no truth that you should see.
C5.5.10
This coronet, my seal, my sword, my gold;Choose what you wish from all the wealth I hold.”
C5.5.11
He gave some coins to Hishvi for his aid;The keeper smiled, delighted to be paid.
C5.5.12
He quickly raised the sail and crossed the spume,And bore the prince toward Caesar’s realm of Rum.
