The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 8, sentence 18

Thus happy lived the pair, and happier far When four fair children graced the royal house, Fairer than flowers, more bright than moon or star Shining through vista long of forest boughs.

Who acts: four fair children, star · What happens: live, grace, shine · To what, where: pair, royal house, vista
