🌲 The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 8, sentence 64

She spoke, and from their silken garb forth-sliding, Ere long those babes were sporting in the bay: And, as it chanced, the eddy past them gliding Wafted a swan’s plume: ’twas less white than they: Frowning, the queen beheld them, and on high Waved thrice her Druid wand athwart the sky:

Who acts: pastime, silken garb, babes, garb, Druid · What happens: speak, slide, sport, chance, waft, behold · To what, where: silken garb, Ere, bay, eddy, looks · Speech: someone speaks here
