Cut and paste of text from Google Books -- note stripping of punctuation from the text.

This great and last national rising of the Celtic race went
hand in hand with a wonderful outburst of national poetry
In every house says an English observer of the time
strangers who arrived in the morning were entertained till
eventide with the talk of maidens and the music of the harp
The characteristic feature of this poetry is the startling freedom
of fancy The gay extravagance of those Mabinogion or tales
which reach their highest perfection in the legends of Arthur sets at
defiance all fact tradition or probability
