Hormizd Cast Down from His Throne

From E5.28, Hormizd Refuses Audience and Falls. It illustrates E5.28.24–30:

E5.28.24
The throng, at Gostaham’s words, condemned his reign;Their curses swelled into a fierce refrain:
E5.28.25
“Down with the king who seeks his own son’s blood!”And rage swept through the army like a flood.
E5.28.26
The troops then set the palace gates aflame,And through the royal halls in fury came.
E5.28.27
They reached the Shah and stripped his royal headOf crown and farr; all deference had fled.
E5.28.28
They hurled him headlong from his royal seat,And cast him down before his rebels’ feet:
E5.28.29
A glowing bodkin pierced both eyes outright;The white-hot needle quenched their shining light!
E5.28.30
They left him blind, in darkness to remain,Cast down forever from imperial reign.
