Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter I, sentence 29

After good eating, good conversation; and after good conversation, sleep--that is the order of a banquet: so when each person had been served with food to the limit of desire the butlers carried in shining, and jewelled drinking-horns, each having its tide of smooth, heady liquor.

Who acts: that, butlers, each, smooth heady liquor · What happens: be, serve, carry, shine, jewell, have · To what, where: order, person, limit, drinking horns, tide
