The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 3, sentence 5

Fergus was loftier-minded: ever more He loathed the sordid plea, the varnished wrong, And inly scorned the Ollamb’s learnèd lore: More dear to him the chase, the feast, the song: Wearied one day, he cried with laughing face, ‘Conor! speak thou the judgment in my place!’

Who acts: Fergus, chase, Conor · What happens: be, mind, loathe, varnish, scorn, weary · To what, where: sordid plea, learnèd lore, thou, place · Speech: someone speaks here
