The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 3, sentence 73

‘Ever at Uladh’s feasts the clansmen say “Set ye the sons of Usnach side by side, A rock behind them, or some cromlech grey, Then blow a trump o’er Erin, far and wide; And range her hosts against them, face to face, Those Three shall hew them down, and homeward chase!”

Who acts: Uladh, clansmen, Those · What happens: feast, say, set, blow, range, hew down · To what, where: homeward chase, ye, trump, hosts, clansmen · Speech: someone speaks here
