The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 11, sentence 62
That host the queen To Ai led, where Ai’s four great plains Shine in the rising and the setting sun, Gold-green, with all their flag-flowers, meres, and streams: There planted she her camp; thence ever rang Neighing of horse, and tempest song of bard, And graver voice of prophet and of seer Who ceased not, day or night, for fifteen days From warnings to the people, ‘Be ye one;’-- Yet one the people were not.
Who acts: That, queen, four great plains, seer, ye, one people · What happens: host, lead, shine, plant, ring, neigh · To what, where: streams, rising, camp, warnings, one
