Legends of the conquest of Spain, The Story of Florinda., sentence 68

We shall pass briefly over the succeeding events of the story of Florinda, about which so much has been said and sung by chronicler and bard: for the sober page of history should be carefully chastened from all scenes that might inflame a wanton imagination; leaving them to poems and romances, and such-like highly seasoned works of fantasy and recreation.

Who acts: We, scenes, fantasy · What happens: pass, succeed, say, sing, chasten, inflame · To what, where: succeeding events, like seasoned works, scenes, wanton imagination, poems, history · Speech: someone speaks here
