Bahman Calls the Court to Vengeance

From D1.1, Bahman Seeks Vengeance for His Father. It illustrates D1.1.4–13:

D1.1.4
He said, “Give ear, both youthful men and old,All those whose minds are steadfast, wise, and bold.
D1.1.5
You know how Esfandiyar met his end,And all the good and ill the heavens send.
D1.1.6
You know the deeds of Rostam while alive,And what the sorcerer Zal dared contrive.
D1.1.7
Now Faramarz, in public or apart,Seeks vengeance on us, nursing it at heart.
D1.1.8
Pain racks my head; my heart is drenched in gore;I think of retribution, nothing more.
D1.1.9
Nush Azar and Mehr-e-Nush, that fearless pair,Gave death no thought, nor let it bring them care.
D1.1.10
And great Esfandiyar, whose presence castNew life upon the nobles’ age now past,
D1.1.11
Was killed in Zabul; beasts both wild and tameWere lost in grief and wandered without aim.
D1.1.12
The painted figures in the palace weepFor him whose blood has brought us grief so deep,
D1.1.13
And for our famed young warriors who lie dead,Our horsemen, for whose blood these tears are shed.
