Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter VIII, sentence 10
Even unconsciously we accept the rights of others to all that we have, and if we will not share our good with them, it is because we cannot, having none; but we will yet give what we have, although that be evil.
Who acts: we, that · What happens: accept, have, not share, give, be · To what, where: rights, others, good, none
