The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 11, sentence 72

Aloud she cried, ‘On to Moytura where the prophet dwells;’ And straight her charioteer the horses smote And tamed them with the reins: and lo! what time The noontide sun with keenest splendour blazed, Right opposite upon the chariot’s beam There sat a wondrous woman phantom-faced Singing and weaving.

Who acts: Aloud, horses, noontide sun · What happens: cry, smite, tame, blaze, sit, weave · To what, where: Moytura, charioteer, dwells, Right opposite, wondrous woman, chariot
