The Crimson Ram of Fortune

From D6.6, Ardavan Pursues Ardeshir and Golnar. It illustrates D6.6.33–40:

D6.6.33
He saw a thriving city, fair and wide;Its people hurried out from every side.
D6.6.34
He asked the noted Mobadan: “RecountThe hour that valiant rider spurred his mount.”
D6.6.35
Their leader answered, “King of fortune bright,Whose thoughts are pure and whose intent is right,
D6.6.36
Just as the sun grew yellow, losing light,And lapis cloaked the world with spreading night,
D6.6.37
Two riders hurried past, their mouths gone dry,Their faces thick with dust as they rode by.
D6.6.38
Behind one rider ran a ram so rare,No painted palace creature could compare.
D6.6.39
With Simorgh’s wings and peacock’s tail it sped,With Rakhsh’s ears and hooves and mighty head.
D6.6.40
Like redbud blossom, crimson; in its speed,A storm wind; none recalls so strange a breed.”
