Dalqak’s Message (1), He Had Arrived (2) — Rumi

He quickly mounts a horse and rides toward town. He rides furiously. Two horses drop dead of exhaustion under his whip. He arrives covered with dust at some ungodly hour, demanding an audience with the king. A panic sweeps the city. What calamity could be imminent that Dalcock the buffoon should be so distraught?

But who knows? I'm sure there's a 1001 interpretations of that
