The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 10, sentence 98
Then on the third day as the sun uprose Behold! a purple mist engirt that grave; And from it, fair as rainbow backed by cloud, Shone out a kingly Phantom robed in green, With red-brown locks, close clustered, drenched in dew, And golden crown, and golden-hilted sword;-- His hand was on it.
Who acts: purple mist engirt, hand · What happens: uprose, grave, back, shine out, robe, cluster · To what, where: purple mist engirt, engirt, rainbow, kingly Phantom, brown locks
