The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 10, sentence 53

There dwelt those Swans; there louder anthems chanted; There first they sang by day--rapt song and hymn, Till all those birds the western coasts that haunted Came flying far o’er ocean’s purple rim, Scorning thenceforth wild cliff and beds of foam; And made, then first, that sacred isle their home.

Who acts: anthems, western coasts · What happens: dwell, chant, sing, haunt, fly, scorn · To what, where: those, louder anthems, rapt song, Came, purple rim, wild cliff
