But when the fourth dawn o’er the forest soaring Sent through the heavens divergent beams of splendour, Upon the earth glory and gladness pouring, That host arose; nor took they farewell tender: Three stones the clansman, each, above his head Flung backward far in scorn: then forth they sped.

Who acts: host, brothers, head · What happens: send, arise, take, farewell, fling, speed · To what, where: fourth dawn, heavens, earth glory, tender, scorn, splendour
