Then would the monarch doff his sullen mood With kingly joy, and, bright as May-day’s morn, Ride forth amid his hounds through wild and wood, Thrilling far glens with echoes of his horn; Or meet the land’s invaders face to face Well pleased, and homeward hew them with disgrace.
Who acts: monarch, invaders · What happens: doff, ride, thrill, meet, face, hew · To what, where: sullen mood, wild, far glens, homeward
