Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., part 1, sentence 31

We know the colour of his hair, the date of his birth and of his death, and his relations, in time and otherwise, with the remainder of the princes and warriors with whom, in that mound-raising period of our history, he was connected, in hostility or friendship; and all this enshrined in ancient song, the transmitted traditions of the people who raised that barrow, and who laid within it sorrowing their brave ruler and, defender.

Who acts: We, people, song, student · What happens: know, raise, connect, enshrine, transmit, lay · To what, where: colour, student, hostility, this, ancient song, barrow
