The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 4, sentence 58

When, centuries earlier, stood on Alba’s coast Usnach’s brave sons, her king received them well: Treaty they made: they joined to his their host, And taught him soon the insurgent tribes to quell, Yet still they loved him not: ‘His soul is mean,’ They said; ‘by him shall Deirdré ne’er be seen.’

Who acts: king, Treaty, sons, soul · What happens: stand, receive, make, join, teach, quell · To what, where: brave sons, coast, sons, insurgent tribes, king, Deirdré ne’er · Speech: someone speaks here
