Rostam's Last Arrow

From C9.4, The Death of Rostam. It illustrates C9.4.30–36:

C9.4.30
The matchless hero took the bow in pain,And held it out despite his wounds and strain.
C9.4.31
Shaghad, in terror of the arrows, fled,And put a tree between them, pale with dread.
C9.4.32
A plane tree stood nearby, whose ancient frameHad stood through many years before he came.
C9.4.33
Its trunk was hollow, yet its leaves still grew;It hid the wicked-minded man from view.
C9.4.34
Though wounded, Rostam raised his hand to slay;He drew the bow and loosed the shaft away.
C9.4.35
The shaft sewed tree and brother into one,And joy lit Rostam’s heart, his life near done.
C9.4.36
Shaghad cried out when struck; his pain was brief;The hero’s shaft had brought him quick relief.
