The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 30, sentence 82

Hearing a beautiful voice one day in the women's part of the palace uttering lamentations, he was informed that it was the voice of the fair Persian, and suddenly calling to mind the patent, he sent for Giafar, and ordered him to make for Balsora with the utmost speed--if Noureddin were dead, to hang Saouy; if he were still alive, to bring him at once to Bagdad along with the king and Saouy.

Who acts: palace, voice, Noureddin · What happens: hear, utter, inform, be, call, mind · To what, where: beautiful voice, part, lamentations, Noureddin, voice, patent · Speech: someone speaks here
