Morien: A Metrical Romance Rendered into English Prose from the Mediæval Dutch, Opening, part 1, sentence 65

But not only does it represent a tradition curious and interesting in itself, it has other claims to attention; even in a translation it is by no means ill written; it is simple, direct, and the adventures are not drawn out to wearisome length by the introduction of unnecessary details.

Who acts: extent, translation, introduction · What happens: not represent, have, be, write, not draw out, introduce · To what, where: tradition, other claims, adventures, wearisome length, unnecessary details
