He delved a trench Barring from Uta’s plain the advancing foe, And bridges o’er it flung, that so his host Permission given, and not till then, might strike Forth pouring torrent-like at Uladh’s heart: Pits too he dug bristling with stakes sod-hid.

Who acts: Fierceness, bridges, that, sod · What happens: delve, advance, fling, give, not strike, pour · To what, where: trench Barring, plain, host Permission, heart, stakes
