1. You've shared Ardashir's gift, though it wasn't
Befitting the honor of nobles to give.

2. Why not wait the distance a league,
That he pass you, seeking his quarters to live?

3. You hurried the thing ere considering
The good grace of hosts, their pavilions to give.

4. You thought it no gift that you gave him, in truth,
No token of kindness or bounty belive.

5. The king of all kings you affronted, and left
Him bare of provision his table to dress.
