Celtic Fairy Tales, The Story of Deirdre, sentence 155

And the gallant youths, full noble, full manly, full handsome, with beauteous brown locks, went forth girt with battle arms fit for fierce fight and clothed with combat dress for fierce contest fit, which was burnished, bright, brilliant, bladed, blazing, on which were many pictures of beasts and birds and creeping things, lions and lithe-limbed tigers, brown eagle and harrying hawk and adder fierce; and the young heroes laid low three-thirds of the company.

Who acts: gallant youths, battle arms, young heroes · What happens: girt, fit, clothe, burnish, blade, blaze · To what, where: young heroes, fierce contest fit, many pictures, things, hawk, low three thirds
