YOU QUITE MISTAKE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: You quite mistake the sprite you chase
Last Line: To my dear kitchen cats and wenches.
Subject(s): Fairies; Fantasy; Elves


You quite mistake the sprite you chase.
I'm of the under, not the upper,
Order of the fairy race,
And cannot go with you to supper.

"You silly elf, Titania's self
Will" — Tut, be there? My mirth she quenches,
And her stiff airs kick me down-stairs
To my dear kitchen cats and wenches.
