Celtic Fairy Tales, The Story-teller At Fault, sentence 121

He moved as wave tumbling o'er wave As whirlwind following whirlwind, As a furious wintry blast, So swiftly, sprucely, cheerily, Right proudly, And no stop made Until he came To the court of Leinster's King, He gave a cheery light leap O'er top of turret, Of court and city Of Leinster's King.

Who acts: earth, tumbling o'er, stop · What happens: move, tumble, wave, follow, make, come · To what, where: court, cheery light leap
