Medea then led Jason down the palace steps and through the silent streets of the city and into the royal pasture-ground, where the two brazen-footed bulls were kept. It was a starry night, with a bright gleam along the eastern edge of the sky, where the moon was soon going to show herself. After entering the pasture the princess paused and looked around.
One attempt was made by them to break through the line of blockade, for the sake of keeping possession of a piece of pasture-ground for their cattle; but it was unsuccessful; and they began now to work day and night in repairing their fortifications, so as to resist the Spanish batteries when they should begin to play.

But the Lar Valley was one of the Shah's summer retreats, and a favourite pasture-ground for his brood mares and young stock.
All doubt about what the newcomers were was solved before we reached the river; so we sat and watched the scene so venerable and ancient the patriarchs moving into the desert, to find new pasture-ground.
