Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Philosopher's Stone, sentence 221

He mixed up together songs of praise with lying epitaphs, as many as he could find, boiled them in tears shed by envy; put upon them rouge, which he had scraped from faded cheeks, and from these he produced a maiden, in form and appearance like the blind girl, the angel of completeness, as men called her.

Who acts: God, lying epitaphs, men, praise · What happens: mix up, lie, find, boil, shed, put · To what, where: songs, bubbles, tears, rouge, faded cheeks, maiden form · Speech: someone speaks here
