Bahram Chubin Defies Saveh's Envoy

From E5.8, Bahram Chubin Answers King Saveh. It illustrates E5.8.34–42:

E5.8.34
That proud king’s envoy came to Bahram’s place,And gave those biting words before his face.
E5.8.35
Bahram replied, “Conceal no word I say;Take all my answer back without delay.
E5.8.36
Say: ‘I am low, you say; my humble nameAnd lowly standing bring me only shame.
E5.8.37
The king of kings was too august to rideIn royal wrath against your swelling pride.
E5.8.38
A man as mean as I now takes the field,With troops to make your royal kindred yield.
E5.8.39
I shall cut off your head and send the kingA prize too base upon a spear to bring.
E5.8.40
For one as low as I to seek your graceWould bring you shame and tarnish your high place.
E5.8.41
You shall not see me till we meet in fight,My violet dragon standard in your sight!
E5.8.42
That dragon marks your death; its stroke shall shredYour golden helm and cleanly cleave your head.’”
