The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 5, sentence 9
‘But you, like Naisi, must have, each, your bride, Unhumbled maids not willing to be wed, To walk in glorying gladness at your side: Find such, and I round each a silver thread Will twine; and bring the creatures to you bound: Discrowned the proud must be; and Love be crowned!’
Who acts: you, I, silver thread · What happens: have, be, walk, glory, find, round · To what, where: each, gladness, side, creatures, Love
