Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., part 1, sentence 52
The Danish conquest, with its profound modification of Irish society, and consequent disruption of old habits and conditions of life, did not dissipate it; nor the more dangerous conquest of the Normans, with their own innate nobility of character, chivalrous daring, and continental grace and civilisation; nor the Elizabethan convulsions and systematic repression and destruction of all native phases of thought and feeling.
Who acts: Danish conquest, conquest · What happens: not dissipate, modify, disrupt, condition, destroy · To what, where: life, Irish society, old habits, native phases
