The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 14, sentence 20

One eve, what time The setting sun levell’d through holly brakes Unnumbered dagger-points of jewel’d light And ’neath the oak-stem burned a golden spot, Leagh, standing near his couch, reproached him thus; ‘In time of old the greatness of thy spirit Had ever strength to salve thy corporal griefs: But now through coward heart thou makest no fight, Dying as old men die.’

Who acts: setting sun, One eve, oak stem, greatness, thou, old men · What happens: levell, ', brake, burn, stand, reproach · To what, where: setting sun, holly, Unnumbered dagger points, golden spot, couch, stem
