The noblest of Írán. He had withal Two ministers of high degree, who used To comrade him in fight. The name of oneAn archimage-was Máhiyár, the other Was called Jánúsiyár. These twain, on seeing Their efforts fruitless and the star erewhile So lofty, and the glory, of Dárá Thus set, held talk and said: " This luckless man Henceforth will see not crown and throne again; We needs must poniard him upon the breast, Or smite his head with Indian sword. Sikandar Will give to us a province. We shall be A crown upon the kingdom."
