Legends of the conquest of Spain, The Field of Battle After the Defeat.—the Fate of Roderick., sentence 13

The carnage of that battle infected the air for two whole months, and bones were seen lying in heaps upon the field for more than forty years; nay, when ages had past and gone, the husbandman, turning up the soil, would still find fragments of Gothic cuirasses and helms, and Moorish scimitars, the relics of that dreadful fight.

Who acts: carnage, bones, husbandman · What happens: infect, see, lie, past, go, turn up · To what, where: air, bones, heaps, ages, soil, fragments
