The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 4, sentence 9

"Sire," answered the grand-vizir, "it is most dangerous for a monarch to confide in a man whose faithfulness is not proved, You do not know that this physician is not a traitor come here to assassinate you."

Who acts: Sire, You, physician · What happens: answer, be, confide, not prove, not know, not be · To what, where: grand vizir, faithfulness, traitor, you · Speech: someone speaks here
