What your poetry book calls "A Fairy Song" is actually a little poem recited or sung by a fairy in Act 2 Scene 1 of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. Its main idea is to answer the character Puck who has just asked the fairy, "How now, spirit, whither wander you?" which means something like "Hey you there! Where are you going?" The key line (since nobody really cares about the fairy or what she is doing before disappearing forever) is "The Queen and all her elves come here anon." Why is it so important? Because Puck will answer "The King doth keep his revels here tonight." and further reveals that the fairy Queen and the fairy King are in the middle of a domestic quarrel, and when they meet there is bound to be fireworks.

What does tell-tale mean?

It means "giving information (often which a person would not wish to be known)" Example: the telltale signs of guilt - from dictionary.com ----- Like when you were kids (For example) and you secretly ate the last piece of cake secretly but your brother found out annd went straight of to your parents telling on you. A tell tale is a person that likes to tell on you to parents teachers etc. ----- That's more of a tattle tale. There was a rhyme when I was a kid, Tattle tale, tattle tale you smell. Ok, it doesn't rhyme but we sung it to someone who ratted us out for doing something silly. Tell-tale is more like a sign not a direct statement, like a tell in poker. It's a sign someone reads from body language, for example, that tells them something about you that you don't want them to know. Or like the Tell-tale Heart by Poe, no one else hears the heart beating, but the guilty man can't stop hearing it, the beating is a tell-tale of his own guilt.


What is the difference between metrical tale and metrical romance?

A metrical tale is a narrative poem that tells a story in verse form, often with a simple and straightforward plot, while a metrical romance is a narrative poem that typically involves more complex and fantastical elements, such as chivalry, knights, and supernatural occurrences. Metrical tales are usually shorter and more focused on moral lessons or entertainment, whereas metrical romances are longer and delve into themes of love, adventure, and heroism. The distinction lies in the style, structure, and content of the two forms of poetry.
