Legends of the conquest of Spain, Fate of Abdalasis and Exilona.—death of Muza., sentence 1
Possession, instead of cooling the passion of Abdalasis, only added to its force; he became blindly enamoured of his beautiful bride, and consulted her will in all things; nay, having lost all relish for the advice of the discreet Ayub, he was even guided by the counsels of his wife in the affairs of government.
Who acts: Possession, Abdalasis, counsels · What happens: cool, add, become, enamour, consult, lose · To what, where: passion, things, relish, Abdalasis, affairs
