The Sampo: A Wonder Tale of the Old North, The Wedding Feast, sentence 111

Much sage counsel also did the hero, Ilmarinen, receive: how he should always be very gentle to the dove that he had captured; how he should not forget to praise her industry in the kitchen, at the loom, in the hay field; how he should never upbraid her in hissing tones, or beat her with a slave whip; but how he should stand like a wall before her to protect and defend when others were unkind.

Who acts: counsel, Hero, others · What happens: receive, be, capture, not forget, praise, not upbraid · To what, where: dove, industry, kitchen, Hero, hissing tones
