The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 40, sentence 11

For some time she was too enchanted to speak, and Prince Firouz Schah took advantage of her silence to explain to her all that had occurred, his despair at watching her disappear before his very eyes, the oath he had sworn to follow her over the world, and his rapture at finally discovering her in the palace at Cashmere.

Who acts: Firouz, that, despair, princess, rapture, Prince · What happens: enchant, speak, take, explain, occur, watch · To what, where: princess, advantage, despair, oath, world, palace · Speech: someone speaks here
