The Khan Will Not Look at Bahram

From E5.18, Hormizd Seeks Alliance with the Khan. It illustrates E5.18.32–41:

E5.18.32
When Bahram heard what gifts the Shah had sent,And how the Khan returned in high content,
E5.18.33
He rode to meet him with a chosen train,His heart still troubled by remorse and pain.
E5.18.34
He stored provisions where the Khan would pass,In town and village, hill and open grass.
E5.18.35
Ashamed of all the wrong that he had done,He sought forgiveness from King Saveh’s son.
E5.18.36
He greeted him with blessings on his way;The Khan turned from him, nothing more to say.
E5.18.37
No coin, provision, slave, or gift he took;He rode as though he would not spare a look.
E5.18.38
For three full stages Bahram rode beside;The Khan ignored him with unwavering pride.
E5.18.39
Upon the fourth, Parmudeh sent to say:“Turn back; you have endured enough today.”
E5.18.40
When Bahram heard that cold, dismissing word,Chagrin and sorrow in his bosom stirred;
E5.18.41
He turned his rein toward Balkh in silent dread,While on to Tisfoon all the rumors sped.
