Do you bear in mind what happened but yesterday, when we were so near to being taken by the heathen, how they fell upon us with fifty thousand men and how we the younger knights bore the burden and brunt of the day and suffered many grievous wounds, so that Oliver my comrade was brought near to death, and indeed, but for your help, we had all perished?

Who acts: you, we, heathen, others, your · What happens: bear, happen, be, take, fall, suffer · To what, where: mind, burden, many grievous wounds, Oliver comrade, death, we
