The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Opening, part 40, sentence 9

The prince took no notice of her behaviour, and approaching quite close, so that his words might be heard by her alone, he said in a low whisper, "Look at me, princess, and you will see that I am no doctor, but the Prince of Persia, who has come to set you free."

Who acts: prince, princess, you · What happens: take, approach, hear, say, look, see · To what, where: notice, words, low whisper, doctor, you, behaviour · Speech: someone speaks here
