Death in the Empty Tent

From E5.27, Hormizd’s Captain Is Slain. It illustrates E5.27.59–66:

E5.27.59
He turned and sped back like the driven blast,With death and anger in his heart held fast.
E5.27.60
He reached the camp; no helper could be found.The chief sat in his tent, with none around.
E5.27.61
No aide was there, no scimitar or steed;He brooded on the Shah and Fortune’s deed.
E5.27.62
When that freed neighbor stepped inside the tent,Ayin Gashasp knew what his purpose meant.
E5.27.63
The murderer drew his scimitar to fight;The chief implored him, shaken at the sight.
E5.27.64
“Deluded one, did I not beg your life,And free you from your chains and prison strife?”
E5.27.65
The other said, “Granted. What have I doneThat you should seek my death beneath the sun?”
E5.27.66
He struck the noble captain’s head away;His feasts and battles ended on that day.
