Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, The Story of Almamoulin., sentence 33

Almamoulin now perceived with how little reason he had hoped for justice or fidelity from those who live only to gratify their senses; and being now weary with vain experiments upon life, and fruitless researches after felicity, he had recourse to a sage, who, after spending his youth in travel and observation, had retired from all human cares, to a small habitation, on the banks of Oxus, where he conversed only with such as solicited his counsel.

Who acts: Almamoulin, sage · What happens: perceive, hope, live, gratify, be, have · To what, where: little reason, senses, recourse, youth, travel, human cares
