This is a sentence of «The Red Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, Kari Woodengown, part 2. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (horse, one, priest, Prince), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
