Monzer Rides to Meet the Shah

From D13.8, Monzer Seeks Justice from Anooshirvan. It illustrates D13.8.1–7:

D13.8.1
From Gilan then to Madain he made way,With train past numbering in vast array.
D13.8.2
As he advanced, before him rose to sightA boundless force of warriors armed for fight.
D13.8.3
One horseman broke from those great ranks to flySwift through the dust, and bold of speech and eye;
D13.8.4
He left his charger, bowed, and then he said,“Behold Monzer, the Arab chief ahead.”
D13.8.5
When Monzer came before the Shah’s own face,The chiefs made way and left him ample space.
D13.8.6
The Shah received him warmly at his seat,And joy shone in his face when they did meet.
D13.8.7
That veteran loosed his tongue; of Rum he spoke,Of Caesar’s pride, and of the desert folk.
