Javanuy Struck Dumb Before Bahram
From D9.10, The Iranians Protest Bahram’s Ravages to Monzer. It illustrates D9.10.23–28:
- D9.10.23When that wise envoy stood before the king,He prayed that God would bless his crown and ring.
- D9.10.24His height and stature, neck and shoulders broughtSuch wonder that the sage stood lost in thought.
- D9.10.25One would have said wine flowed from Bahram’s face,And musk from his dark hair perfumed the place.
- D9.10.26That fluent man grew speechless, dazed in mind,And left the message he had borne behind.
- D9.10.27Bahram Goor saw the wonder in his eyes,And knew his royal splendor caused surprise.
- D9.10.28He greeted him with kindness, showed him grace,And on the royal seat gave him a place.
