Bahram Sleeps on His Feet

From D9.6, Yazdegard Jails Bahram, but He Escapes. It illustrates D9.6.1–6:

D9.6.1
One day, Bahram served in the banquet hall,Attending to the courtiers’ every call.
D9.6.2
When night came on, his limbs had lost their strengthFrom serving through the day’s exhausting length.
D9.6.3
He closed his eyes, still standing in his pain;His heart grew weary of that ceaseless strain.
D9.6.4
His father saw his eyes were closed and criedIn sudden anger, casting calm aside.
D9.6.5
He told the headsman, “Take him from my sight;No cap or girdle shall be his by right.
D9.6.6
Confine him here, then come to me tonight;No throne befits him, nor renown in fight.”
