The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 7, sentence 37

And still the Three above their sister raised Their mighty shields that, like three glittering spheres Glared through the gloom, and friend and foeman dazed; And fierce as living creatures worked their spears Dealing the death around, till all the plain Lay like a death-vault, strewn by warriors slain.

Who acts: friend, living creatures, spears · What happens: raise, glitter, glare, daze, work, deal around · To what, where: mighty shields, three glittering spheres, gloom, spears, death
