The Drunken Shoemaker Rides the Lion

From D10.7, Bahram Allows Wine Again. It illustrates D10.7.9–16:

D10.7.9
A royal lion had escaped its chain,And roamed in majesty along the lane.
D10.7.10
The shoemaker was still so full of wine,He could not count his fingers in a line.
D10.7.11
He ran and mounted on the roaring beast,And clutched its ears, not frightened in the least.
D10.7.12
The lion had been fed and did not spring;The youth sat firm as on some harmless thing.
D10.7.13
The keeper hurried after them in fear,With chain in hand and kamand gathered near.
D10.7.14
He saw the youth astride the lion, sureAs on a donkey, careless and secure.
D10.7.15
He ran at once before the palace gate,And told the Shah this marvel, strange and great.
D10.7.16
He swore he saw the sight with his own eyes:A prodigy beneath the turning skies!
