The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 10, sentence 72

That concourse on them gazed with many a tear; Yet no man uttered speech or motion made, Till now the Four had reached that altar-bier, Their ghastly pilgrimage’s goal, and laid Before its base their bodies, one by one, And faces glistening in the rising sun.

Who acts: concourse, speech, man · What happens: gaze, utter, make, reach, lay, glisten · To what, where: man, speech, Four, base, rising sun. · Speech: someone speaks here
