The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 7, sentence 22

Circling the walls: up rushed the red flames roaring; And one by one, the seven great gates fell down; Then rushed from court to court, still onward pouring, Native with alien, man-at-arms with clown: Yet still the assailed fought on from stair to stair, Long time in rage, and later in despair.

Who acts: red flames, one, Circling · What happens: circle, rush, roar, fall down, pour, assail · To what, where: walls, red flames, court, arms, stair
