Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, Omar’s Plan of Life., sentence 14

When I took my first survey of the world, in my twentieth year, having considered the various conditions of mankind, in the hour of solicitude, I said thus to myself, leaning against a cedar which spread its branches over my head: Seventy years are allowed to man; I have yet fifty remaining: ten years I will allot to the attainment of knowledge, and ten I will pass in foreign countries; I shall be learned, and therefore shall be honoured; every city will shout at my arrival, and every student will solicit my friendship.

Who acts: I, cedar, ten, city, student, my · What happens: take, have, consider, say, lean, spread · To what, where: first survey, considered various conditions, myself, head, branches, Seventy years · Speech: someone speaks here
