And spread his cloak, and set her there to rest;

Then, mounting, took his arrows and his sword,

And furiously on the pursuers fell,

And slew the forty horsemen and their steeds.

Then he returned, and Guje-Zare bore

Unto Mount Ararat, where they reposed,

Hid in thick mist and fog. His weary head

He laid in her soft lap, and fell asleep.

Soon Sia-Manto started suddenly;

Warm tears had fallen from Guje-Zare’s eyes
