The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 15, sentence 37

Sirs, they saw more late, But saw from distance, Eman’s walls high-towered: This, this they saw not; warriors, warrior-ruled, Marching against them!

Who acts: Sirs, this · What happens: see, tower, not see, rule, march · To what, where: walls, warriors
