Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, Legends and Tales., part 8, sentence 85

When a maiden, born on the ocean, pure as the dawn, comes here alone at the midnight hour of Halloween, kneels, and with raised hand calls her own name aloud three times, and then entreats the Most High to break the enchantment, and annihilate the monster in the rocks, they shall sink at her prayer, the treasures of gold and gems shall rise to the surface, become the maiden's possession, and the hobgoblin shall vanish for ever.

Who acts: maiden born ocean, treasures, hobgoblin, ocean, enchantment, maiden · What happens: bear, come, raise, call, entreat, break · To what, where: own name, enchantment, monster, rocks, prayer, surface · Speech: someone speaks here
