The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 6, sentence 45

As thus they stood the gates were opened wide; Anon forth stepped a herald with this word, ‘Great Sirs, the King, himself by sickness tried, Within the Red-Branch House hath decked your board With Uladh’s best, from mead and river brought:’ They on each other gazed, yet answered nought.

Who acts: eyes, Anon, King, mead · What happens: stand, open, step, try, deck, bring · To what, where: gates, herald, Great Sirs, Red Branch House, eyes, nought
