The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 2, sentence 33
The latter includes a chapter, the fourteenth, entitled ‘The Welding together of the Shards of the Sword Grana,’ taken, as might seem, from ‘The Knighting of Cuchullain,’ so close is the resemblance--as close as that between the Spanish story of the ‘Monk and the Bird,’ known to the English reader through Archbishop Trench’s charming poem, and the Irish tale regarded as its original.
Who acts: latter, Irish tale · What happens: include, entitle, take, seem, be, know · To what, where: chapter, Welding, Shards, Knighting, close resemblance, charming poem
