Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Eleventh Evening, sentence 5

They wanted to see the city that had risen from the grave illumined by my beams; and I showed them the wheel-ruts in the streets paved with broad lava slabs; I showed them the names on the doors, and the signs that hung there yet: they saw in the little courtyard the basins of the fountains, ornamented with shells; but no jet of water gushed upwards, no songs sounded forth from the richly-painted chambers, where the bronze dog kept the door.

Who acts: mercenaries, I, signs, songs, bronze dog, my · What happens: want, see, rise, illumine, show, pave · To what, where: city, grave, mercenaries, streets, little courtyard, basins
