Mehran Setad Chooses the Plain-Robed Princess

From E1.9, Anooshirvan Sends for the Khan’s Daughter. It illustrates E1.9.49–60 (to E1.9.62):

E1.9.49
He opened every door within the hall;The servants cried in wonder, one and all:
E1.9.50
“No star or sun or moon has seen the sightThat now before your eyes will blaze with light.”
E1.9.51
The ladies’ bower seemed Paradise remade,With suns and moons and treasures richly laid.
E1.9.52
Five fairy-faced young maidens sat arrayed,With crowns and jewels in that hall displayed,
E1.9.53
All but the daughter born of queenly line,Who wore no crown, no torque, no jewel’s shine.
E1.9.54
She wore a worn robe, humble to the eyes,Her musky locks her crown beneath the skies.
E1.9.55
Her cheeks were not adorned with artful dye;Her natural beauty met the gazer’s eye.
E1.9.56
A cypress stood, with new moon overhead,Whose luster round her throne was softly spread.
E1.9.57
When old Mehran beheld the maidens fair,He saw none like the one with humble air.
E1.9.58
Shrewd in his counsel, firm in heart and aim,He knew the royal pair had staged a game.
E1.9.59
The maiden used her hands to veil her eyes,And hid her face with innocent disguise.
E1.9.60
Mehran grew angered and addressed the slaves:“The Shah has crowns and thrones and gems he saves.
