You would diagram that sentence the same way you would diagram this one:
[to] Let no man know that fearful sound of "Fire!" and "Fire!" [subject]
is my desire. [predicate: verb and predicate noun]
where the subject breaks down further, "man" being both the object of "let" and subject of "know", "sound" being the object of the verb "know", and "Fire! and Fire!" b
[to] Let no man know that fearful sound of "Fire!" and "Fire!" [subject]
is my desire. [predicate: verb and predicate noun]
where the subject breaks down further, "man" being both the object of "let" and subject of "know", "sound" being the object of the verb "know", and "Fire! and Fire!" b
