Stories of Charlemagne and the twelve Peers of France, Of the Treachery of King John, sentence 113

What would have been the end no man can say, for Ogier on his part was not backward, but now the horse Bayard, knowing that his master was near, carried away Mawgis in his own despite, and came and knelt before Reynaud.

Who acts: end, master · What happens: be, say, not be, know, carry away, come · To what, where: Ogier, part, carried Mawgis, own, Reynaud · Speech: someone speaks here
