Molten Metal for the Worm

From D6.15, Ardeshir Discovers the Truth about the Worm. It illustrates D6.15.96–103:

D6.15.96
When wine had left their tongues too slack to speak,He came with his two hosts, the Worm to seek.
D6.15.97
He brought the metal and the cauldron near,And lit the fire while daylight still was clear.
D6.15.98
When feeding time arrived, the Worm was fedWith molten metal, boiling hot instead.
D6.15.99
Its tongue came out, with all a cymbal’s hue,As when the rice was brought for it to chew.
D6.15.100
One young man poured; the molten metal sank,And left the Worm all helpless in its tank.
D6.15.101
A rumble from its maw convulsed the ground;The pit and earth both trembled at the sound.
D6.15.102
Then Ardeshir came rushing like the gale,The two young warriors followed on his trail.
D6.15.103
With sword and gorz and shafts their fury spread;Not one escaped; the drunken men lay dead.
