To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And behold! Rus- tem heaped black earth upon his head, and tore his hair, and wrung his hands; but his cries could not be heard for the mighty wailing of the army. And not only this, but lo ! the drums of the war-elephants were also shattered, and the cymbals broken, and the tails of the horses torn to the roots, for thus did the Persians mourn their mighty dead.
Now when the mournful train drew near unto Seistan, Zal marvelled to see the host returning thus in sorrow. For, as he beheld Rustem ...at their head, he knew that the wailing was not for him, and he could think of no other worthy such martial honors. When they drew near, how- ever, Rustem led him unto the bier, and showed unto him the youthful Sohrab, so like in feature and might unto Saum, the son of Neriman. Then he told unto him all that had come to pass, and behold! Zal, too, tore his white hair and wept at this dire misfortune and loss that had come unto his house, and for brave, laughing Sohrab gone.
And lo ! the days of mourning being ended, the Mighty Ones built for the sleeping hero a tomb like unto a horse's hoof; and therein they laid him to rest, in a chamber of 256 PERSIAN HERO TALES gold, perfumed with amber.
