The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 4, sentence 7
From that time Naisi’s name she named no more; Nothing she seemed to lack; nothing to crave: Her heart through spiritual realms was strong to soar, Self-lifted as from windless seas the wave; A spirit of strength from earthly bonds escaped She trod; her body’s self but spirit draped;
Who acts: name, heart, spirit, Naisi · What happens: name, seem, lack, crave, be, soar · To what, where: more, name, self
