Morien: A Metrical Romance Rendered into English Prose from the Mediæval Dutch, Opening, part 6, sentence 22

Sir Gawain thought within himself he was sorely over-matched within those (to be bare of weapons 'tis a heavy blow at need), and he knew well that the folk looked on him with unfriendly eyes, and that none were on his side, that might be seen from their mien; and therefore he thought within himself that there was no better counsel save to put himself in his host's grace, and do that which he bade him.

Who acts: Sir, folk, none, better counsel, that · What happens: think, over-match, be, know, look, see · To what, where: Sir, side, that, mien, folk, grace · Speech: someone speaks here
