Kharrad Heals the Khan's Daughter

From E6.36, Kharrad’s Mission to the Khan. It illustrates E6.36.74–79:

• E6.36.74
  The steward told the queen, “A healer waits”;She bade him enter through the inner gates.
• E6.36.75
  The steward said, “Keep secret why you came;Go, heal her child, but do not give your name.”
• E6.36.76
  Before the Khatoon’s eyes he viewed the maid,Whose liver burned, in dire need of aid:
• E6.36.77
  “Bring pomegranate juice,” he then decreed,“And streamside chicory, the herb we need.”
• E6.36.78
  He sought to quell the fever in her head;Within a week, by God’s decree, it fled.
• E6.36.79
  The girl grew radiant as the moon at night;The queen brought treasure forth in her delight.
