Nushzad Throws Open the Prisons

From D13.17, The Revolt of Nushzad. It illustrates D13.17.11–18:

D13.17.11
He heard the throne was empty of its Tree;His father gone, the seat of kingship free.
D13.17.12
He opened wide his palace doors; his callDrew troops from every quarter to his hall.
D13.17.13
Men who had left all reason far behind,Whom Anooshirvan had ordered confined,
D13.17.14
Nushzad released from prison and from chains,And panic swept the streets and crowded lanes.
D13.17.15
He gathered Christians, priests and prelates bold,And drew them all within his rebel fold.
D13.17.16
He summoned horsemen, swordsmen to his hand,All armed for war and under his command.
D13.17.17
His mother gave him treasures from her store,The gifts the Shah had heaped on her before.
D13.17.18
Then thirty thousand men had joined his side,All famed in arms, all ready, battle-tried.
