Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter V. Said Mongan:, sentence 5

They sent for other doctors, but they could not cure him, nor could any one say what he was suffering from, beyond that he was wasting visibly before their eyes, and would certainly become a shadow and disappear in air unless he was healed and fattened and made visible.

Who acts: doctors, one, Eolgarg · What happens: send, not cure, any, say, suffer, waste · To what, where: Eolgarg, shadow, air · Speech: someone speaks here
