Faghfoor's Envoy Learns Whom He Escorted
From D5.32, Iskandar Marches His Army to Chin. It illustrates D5.32.80–85:
- D5.32.80The envoy set forth with Iskandar’s train;Who could suspect the Shah rode on the plain?
- D5.32.81The boatman saw Iskandar, sprang upright,And swiftly raised the sail to speed their flight.
- D5.32.82The minister came with the troops to greetHis Shah, who told the story of his feat.
- D5.32.83His legions raised their blessings all around,And bowed their heads before him to the ground.
- D5.32.84The man of Chin now knew the king he faced,And came on foot, with cries, as on he paced.
- D5.32.85“Make no excuse,” the Shah said, “for your fear;But let Faghfoor know nothing of this here.”
