Monzer Bears the Infant Bahram to Yemen

From D9.2, Bahram Goor Is Born and Raised by an Arab. It illustrates D9.2.51–57:

  • D9.2.51
    When Yazdegard had heard what Monzer said,He weighed the matter deeply in his head.
  • D9.2.52
    He saw the end within the first design,And gave him Bahram, child of royal line.
  • D9.2.53
    The Shah commanded robes of honor brought,And raised Monzer in rank beyond all thought.
  • D9.2.54
    They robed the king of Yemen in the hall,Then brought his royal mount before them all.
  • D9.2.55
    From Yazdegard’s high court toward the plainWent camels, horses, litters in a train.
  • D9.2.56
    With slaves and nurses in a countless throng,The train through every marketplace stretched long.
  • D9.2.57
    The roads through every bazaar were hung bright,From gate to court, with color, wealth, and light.
