The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 4, sentence 53

Nathless through Conor’s craft such toils were woven ’Twixt them and Erin’s Kings, to spare that wrong Felt at low hearths when royal pacts are cloven, They built by northern Moyle a fleet ere long, And spread their sails from Kermnah Dûn, and o’er The grey-green billows sailed to Alba’s shore.

Who acts: royal pacts, pacts, green billows, Conor · What happens: weave, spare, be, build, spread, sail · To what, where: Nathless, wrong Felt, low hearths, fleet, sails, Kermnah
