Yazdegard Finds His Father Dead

Yazdegard Finds His Father Dead

From D10.40, Bahram Goor’s Time Comes to an End. It illustrates D10.40.13–16:

  • D10.40.13
    When morning’s sun rose glorious overhead,The Mobad’s heart grew heavy with its dread.
  • D10.40.14
    “The Shah still sleeps,” he thought, oppressed by fear;“Perhaps he shuns the burdens waiting here.”
  • D10.40.15
    Then Yazdegard came to his father’s side;The moisture in his mouth with terror dried.
  • D10.40.16
    Bahram, with faded cheeks, lay cold and dead,Upon the golden brocade richly spread.
