Legends of the conquest of Spain, The Cave of Hercules., sentence 51

He remembered to have heard, however, that immediately under the entrance to the church there was an arch of mason work, apparently the upper part of some subterranean portal; but that all had been covered up, and a pavement laid down thereon; so that whether it led to the magic cave or the necromantic tower remains a mystery, and so must remain until some monarch or archbishop shall again have courage and authority to break the spell.

Who acts: nobleman, pavement, monarch · What happens: remember, hear, cover up, lay down, lead, remain · To what, where: entrance, all, mystery, courage, spell
