Kharrad Stands before Caesar's Throne

From E6.14, Caesar’s Horseman Comes to Khosrow. It illustrates E6.14.33–44 (to E6.14.45):

E6.14.33
He sat upon his famous ivory seat,And donned the crown whose light made all complete.
E6.14.34
He bade the chamberlains draw back the veil,And lead the envoys in their shimmering mail:
E6.14.35
First noble Gostaham, with stately tread,Advanced; then Balvi and Shapur were led;
E6.14.36
Kharrad and Andiyan, in gold arrayed,With jeweled belts and coronets displayed,
E6.14.37
Approached the throne, made low obeisance meet,And scattered lustrous pearls before his feet!
E6.14.38
They scattered gems before the throne’s bright gold;He asked of Khosrow, seeking to be told
E6.14.39
Of Iran, troops, and hardships on the way;Kharrad came near, the letter to display.
E6.14.40
By Caesar’s order four gold seats were set;Four envoys sat where honor’s ranks were met.
E6.14.41
The men of high and well-advised renownSat, but Kharrad stood and would not sit down.
E6.14.42
Then Caesar said, “A traveler should sit.”Kharrad replied, “The Shah has not deemed fit
E6.14.43
To give me right to sit while in your sight;I hold his letter and uphold his right.
E6.14.44
By standing, I may serve this embassy,And show the Shah’s command through courtesy.”
