The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 6, sentence 56
Drawing a thousand thoughts into one noose Of woman-craft she sped, in silks arrayed; And came with speed, such speed as age may use, To where at chess the sentenced princes played In that high window; next one finger raised High as her brow; then round her peering gazed.
Who acts: Levarcam, such speed, sentenced princes · What happens: draw, speed, array, come, use, sentence · To what, where: thousand thoughts, one noose, silks, next one finger, chess
